I am currently using a Visual Basic script to determine how big the web folders are and what quota is decided for each folder. The quota is in no way a physical limit, just a value inserted by me to decide whether a user is using too much space or not.

The script does the job quite neatly and sends an html file by mail on a regular basis. The problem is that it's such a hassle to insert new quotas since I have to fiddle around with the code. A central "control panel" with an overview and ability to insert new quotas would be more suitable.

Is there any software that can do the following:

Scan specified folder/subfolders
Report the file size and present it in some sort of interface (could be a php/mysql solution)
Ability to specify a quota and see the difference value

?

It is really important that the quota handling is made simple so that some non-technician can handle this.
