We present DReSS, a system to enable authors to deposit, update and share documents on a WWW server, using standard WWW features only. Authors do not need login permission on the server machine, ftp upload access, or even electronic mail, yet they have a finer control over the access (update) rights for their documents than on a Unix filesystem they would have access to. As the documents live in the WWW server space there is no need for the server to be able to access documents outside its space. Thus, our system will work on even the most securely shielded servers (running in a chroot environment, and possibly even behind a firewall).
Keywords: multi-user authoring, electronic publishing, document repository.
