Http File Server
Friday, January 4th, 2008Windows only HFS (HTTP File Server) offers a super simple way to share files via the Internet. There is no install, simply an .exe file (550KB!) that provides an “easy” mode for most users and an “expert” mode that offers advanced preferences for the brave. To share files through HFS, either drag/drop the files to the HFS window, or use the Windows Explorer integration with a right-click. You can add user accounts to HFS so that you can access your own files while not at your computer, or let your friends download the latest killer track you recorded in Windows Sound Recorder.

IMAP is far superior to regular old POP for fetching your messages and maintaining your folder list whether you’re on your iPhone, office or home computer. If IMAP’s got you curious but you’re not sure what desktop application to use with Gmail, consider the extensible, fast, cross-platform and free Mozilla Thunderbird, our beloved Firefox’s little sibling.
