HTTP File Server
open-in-new
<p>HTTP File Server, otherwise known as HFS, is a free <a href="/facts/Web_server/A4GS6thA">web server</a> specifically designed for publishing and sharing files. The complete feature set differs from other web servers; it lacks some common features, like <a href="/facts/Common_Gateway_Interface/zWsLFXGJ">CGI</a>, or even ability to run as a <a href="/facts/Windows_service/qzNquuK6">Windows service</a>, but includes, for example, counting file downloads. </p>
