Portable cFos Personal Net

There are numerous ways you can share your files with others nowadays, either by email, dedicated file sharing websites, and the list does not end here. An alternative is to configure an HTTP server, which allows you to host and share files without using a third party service. A good, no-install option is Portable cFos Personal Net.

Relying on JavaScript, this simple application runs an HTTP server on your computer with minimum configuration required. It runs silently in the system tray and is accessible via localhost. Thus, it won’t interfere with your daily activity unless you need it.

Files can be uploaded in two different ways. The easiest one is to right-click the file you want to share and choose the designated option in the right-click menu. Alternatively, you can use the server’s web interface by accessing the following address: ‘http://localhost/upload/index.htm’. Sharing this URL will allow others to upload files to the server. The download link is automatically copied to the clipboard, so you can share it with anyone.

The most important advantage of Portable cFos Personal Net with respect to other file sharing methods is that it allows you to do this much easier and much faster, without having to create an account or configure a connection. All the more that this portable edition does not require installation, so you can run it with a double click and carry it around with you on a removable device.

Practically, while Portable cFos Personal Net is running in the system tray, it’s enough to publish a file (which requires no more than two clicks), and anyone will be able to view, access or download it using a web browser.

Portable cFos Personal Net is nothing more than a simple HTTP server. It requires minimum configuration and allows customization in JavaScript or with Apache-like .htaccess files. Uploading content is easy and sharing a file’s URL on the server is even easier, it just requires you to paste the address.

In other words, Portable cFos Personal Net provides secure web hosting on your Windows computer, much like a personal cloud that anyone can use to share files.
