Awake FILE is a secure Open Source framework that allows to program very easily file uploads/downloads and RPC through http. File transfers include powerful features like file chunking and automatic recovery mechanism. Security has been taken into account from the design: server side allows to specify strong security rules in order to protect the files and to secure the RPC calls.
