HFS ~ HTTP File Server

Access your files directly from your disk via the web

Forever free software.
Be your own server! Share files fresh from your disk, with unlimited space and bandwidth.
Fast: try zipping 100GB, download starts immediately.
Smart: HFS tries to detect problems and suggest solutions.
Present things the way you want: share even a single file with our virtual file system, even with a different name, all without touching the real file.
Monitor all activities in real-time.
Bandwidth throttling: decide how much to give.
Direct transfers: share large files with friends without having to upload them first.
Expandable: find the right plugin, or create you own.

There is currently no official fix for version 2, but version 3 is not and never has been affected.
