I would NEVER allow such stuff, because you can kill a WHOLE server with
it... You can start with 26 directories each one contain a file "FOO"
and 1 kBYte, then make in each subdirectory 26 other directories an put
the same file there...
Believe it, I will kill your server by eating your INODES!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many SysAdmins use 'df -i' if an error occur?
5 levels are eating arround 12 million inodes but only arround 40 MByte.

It is a tool which is ALREADY in Windows, so user can use it easily...

Why? Your webclient can only edit textfiles, not others...
FTP-Client can edit ANY files using the appropriated program.

I users can move files on the Harddisk, you assume, that YOUR users are
to sick, to move files to a network drive?

Most tools where once coded with the note "It works for me!" and then
forgotten... Some years ago I was at the same point while searching
some stuff for my website...

MOST tools are coded in PHP and do not believe (and you should not
assume), the Debian Security Team is willing to maintain it in STABLE.
You say, you will maintain it, but this happen only to UNSTABLE and
TESTING and the it is the responsability of the Security Team.

Most tools (I found nearly 70) are not referenced everywhere, so, no one
can say it is widely used and tested.

I think, YOU miss some points...
Such tools MUST be prooven to be stable and secure...

I am not sure, if the Security Team give the OK for JAVA-Applets/Flash
stuff.
