I'm looking for a web based, embeddable file manager. I haven't found anything suitable through Google or the Stack Overflow archives. Does anyone know of a file manager that meets the following criteria?

The file manager must…

  1. …be embeddable (e.g. Flash or a Java applet)
  2. …run from my server (no storing uploads in a remote location)
  3. …be licensed for business use (fees are okay)
  4. …let me disable uploads. Users shouldn't be able to upload files, only download them
  5. …allow me to tag files and/or place them in folders
  6. …let me disable authentication or handle it from the backend. My app already has a login system and I don't want to make users log in twice
  7. …allow users to select and download multiple files
  8. …have an attractive interface

The file manager should…

  1. …have an external config file
  2. …display thumbnail previews for files
  3. …be skinnable
  4. …be actively developed or at least actively maintained

Thanks for your help. I need a sophisticated file manager and I'd like to avoid writing it from scratch.
