Easy File Sharing Web Server

There are situations when you need to work on two computers, one being at home and the other one at work. There are files on both computers and it may be required to access files stored on a computer from the other. In this case, using Windows alone won't help, because the operating system allows sharing files only on a local network, but not on the Internet. In this situation, you could use the Easy File Sharing Web Server application. This simple Windows program acts as a file sharing server, allowing you to access your files from any computer connected to the Internet.

The installation wizard of Easy File Sharing Web Server is not difficult to complete and using the application is also very easy. After launching the program, the user will be presented with a tabbed interface which seems intuitive to use. The program is able to automatically detect your IP, even if you are using a router to connect to the Internet. The main tab of the application lists your IP address, together with several options. These options allow configuring the program to run together with Windows or to start minimized when launched.

By accessing the Virtual Folders tab, the user can set the folders which will be shared by the program. Any kind of folder can be shared, no matter how many files it contains. When adding a new folder, the user can set permissions, for allowing only certain users to upload or download files from that folder. These settings can protect your data. Besides that, certain folders can be configured to be displayed only to some users.

After completing the step of sharing folders, the user can move on to creating Forum topics, as Easy File Sharing Web Server also includes a forum function. This feature can be easily turned on or off from the main tab.

The next tab of the program lists all the users which have access to the file sharing server. Each user can have a password and an associated email address. Besides that, each user can have various restrictions applied, regarding the amount of maximum uploaded or downloaded data.
