HFS - The HTTP File Server

HFS offers a very easy way to use http to serve a directory of files with your Windows PC.

HFS download page and beta version (recommended).

For support check the FAQ or the Forum.

Download the single file from the beta forum. Create a directory to place the file and use Explorer to run it directly.

Files or directories to share are added by right clicking on the / under the Virtual File System pane in the program window.

You'll need to open a port (such as 8080, 8081, etc.) on your router and then assign that port to HFS.

If a directory contains an index.html file than that is presented to the web browser. If no index.html exists then the HFS internal template is used to display a listing of the files in the directory.

Many templates exist and can be found here on the forum.
