Sharing files with WWW FileShare PRO

At work we have clients that span the globe. Some times we need to share large files much larger than a normal email client can transmit and hold. We're talking about files above 50 megs. Many of our clients are not allowed to install custom programs on their work computers due to their company's IT rules. This makes it impossible to use an online file server. I also didn't want to be in charge of FTP servers and the potential security that can be associated with them. So I use WWW File Share Pro.

WWW File Share Pro is a software that can help you share files with your friends or share files in the office. They can download files from your computer or upload files from theirs. What you need to do is to simply specify a directory for downloads and a directory for uploads. Your friends can download/upload files via browser (IE/Netscape/Opera/etc.) They will not be required to install this software or any other software because an internet browser is enough.

WWW File Share Pro supports password protection (for all directories or for individual directory). If you enable password protection, only authorized user can access your service. This software supports virtual directory and default document. It can be installed as NT service. You can easily customize the html page as your wish. WWW File Share Pro also supports resuming downloads and multiple downloads.

There is also a nice collection of plug-ins here with instuctions on how to write your own plug-ins here.

License for a single user to register WWW File Share Pro on one computer is only $39.95 (USD). You can try a 30 day demo beofre you decide to purchase. I've dedicated an older computer as our FileShare server. I then shared the FileShare Folder with everyone on the network so they can copy files to the directory they desire. I can set up an account for a new client in under 5 minutes.

This method of sharing large files with our clients has worked perfectly. All the end user needs is a browser such as IE, our FileShare web address and their password is emailed to them.
