You don't have to edit complex config files to make it run, just install it and run it. Its purpose is to allow sharing files in heterogeneous LAN networks. Let's imagine a network with 3 computers: one is running a Linux desktop, one is running a windows XP and the last one is running windows 7. Without a time consumming configuration step you can't share your files using built-in OS utils but with qShare installed everywhere you you'll be able to access the files you want to share with only a few clicks. Since FTP is an old protocol it is supported by lots of common programs (Dolphin, Firefox, internet explorer, etc...). qShare also has a built-in search feature which saves some network and CPU resources by running the search on the server side which sends back only the results of your request instead of huge file lists. Changelog: --- 1.3 to 2.0 beta --- * added support for Zeroconf (currently only works on Linux with Avahi's Bonjour compatibility layer) * multiple users can run qshare concurrently on the same computer, one instance is automatically selected to be the server (if the server crashes another instance is selected) * support for server only mode (can run without any GUI system) * built-in service discovery is more reactive: a new REFRESH request reduces the time needed to refresh the whole computer list * added a time out to detect unavailable servers NB: paths should now look like: ftp://ip:2000/user/shared_folder/... (there are 2 levels of virtual folders) Links: * ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/qtapps/qshare-2.0-os2.zip -- For a choice in the future of personal computing, Join VOICE - http://www.os2voice.org [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
