I tried many different file server options, from SSH putty, ccfile, ftp file freeware. HFS has proved to be better then the others. Giving many options, ease of use is there for the average user, yet there are many features such as support or blocking of Download managers. Worked with Windows 7 firewall when others would not! shows the user information on Who is downloading. Excellent freeware.

A very easy and safe method when moving files between our computers at home - faster even than our fastest memory stick, and safer than Windows own folder sharing.

This is cool. Anyone I want can grab files from me with just a web browser. Runs for weeks on end without problems. There is now an unofficial IRC channel for this software on the Undernet network channel name is HFS come have a chat and meet other HFS users

What else can I say, this application is great. The only things I wish it had: An Installer version along with the stand alone, a better explanation of virtual vs real folders, and a disallow file type list for uploads. Other than that, it is awesome and the developer seems to keep working on it, so it does not seem as though it will be unsupported any time soon. All in all a great app.

This is one of the best programs I have found. It takes no Computer skills to set-up and is especially useful for sharing files with Friends half-way around the World, because they are able to log-on and retrieve Files while I am in never, never, land.

What I like about it is there is absolutely nothing to configure (unless you want to change security settings), just right-click the file, set of files, or folder; then add it. It will work with any router as well, just put in your WAN IP, VOILA!

Share file with friends with control.
- Interface: 4
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
With this program you can share any files from your machine you want. You can password protect access as well as control who has access by blocking IP addresses of abusers. This program can be turned on and off at will. You can even stop a download in progress if needed. If you want you can customize the interface the users see when they log into your page. If you do not have a static IP you will need to get a program that tracks dynamic ip's if you need users to find you anytime. But if you are just going to make a file available for a friend to download just email your current IP and they can get to it. If using XP SP1 you will have to go to internet connection sharing and turn on the ftp in advanced. I believe in SP2 which I do not have yet you just give the program permission.
