Does it conform to Orthodox file manager specs? http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/

I haven't heard of OFM so I didn't design it around those specs, but i'll look into it. Thanks for the link

It does not work on Windows. Should be easy to add that.

Interesting, how does this compare to copyparty?

Can this be used to deliver files to clients while restricting read access based on email addresses?

Depends on how you'd want to control the access, you could make an account for each email and configure access per account/role, or share the files publicly and set a password (you can set a different password per user). For more config-based control, there's currently nothing like filtering emails with regex or similar.
