AS-File Transfer

Sharing files over the Internet can be a challenging task if you do not have a trustworthy service that you can rely on.

While you can rely on basic email services or removable storage media, you can also turn to specialized software, which can yield higher transfer speeds and fewer file size limitations. One of the applications that can help you achieve these results is AS-File Transfer.

Note that files can only be sent if users have the same application version (both the client and server tools).

Given to its nature, this program does not come with an intimidating interface, as its functions are easy to understand and display uncomplicated captions.

This application offers you two components that can help you transfer your files either over a local network or online without difficulty. There are no additional configuration menus, windows or panels whatsoever, thus adding to its simplicity and enhancing accessibility.

When you first run it, the server component asks you to type a password that it can use to secure the connection. It is possible to change the passkey later, if you want, by clicking the dedicated button and typing a new one.

You are also required to set a destination folder that can be used to store received files. This parameter can be adjusted freely, as well. You can view extra information about the processed content, such as IP address of the sender, file names, size, progress and speed.

You can send the files from the client component by selecting multiple items, defining a server address, a password and clicking the Send button. Unfortunately, there is no way to remove a file from the list other than clearing all the entries.

It is possible to toggle new content to overwrite old one without asking for confirmation beforehand.

In conclusion, AS-File Transfer can help you transfer your files in a fast and secure manner. However, note that when sending multiple files, you cannot delete a single item from the list, but you have to clear all the entries.
