Online apps to replace FTP? DropSend? YouSendIt? Box.net?

    Hi, I'm looking for an online app to replace FTP in a website. Here is what I need:

    * to allow clients to upload files via the app

    * store the files until I can download/delete them.

    * be able to share files with clients privately - at a "private" and unique URL

    * integrate into existing website via iframe or embedded code

    I'm searching the apps out there and YouSendIt seems to be a good match so far but I'm not sure if it is the best.

    Is there anything, perhaps open source which I could install on my server and have it run via my host to do the same?

    Appreciate any help :)

    Thanks.

    mentos, yeah, that is an option I'm exploring as well. Although just as a matter of time constraint and to avoid "reinventing the wheel" I'd prefer to find an existing script or app.

    I'm looking also at dropio which looks really nice.

    Not sure if this will help but I think it covers almost all your points: designftp.com
