file sharing systems

Companies quite often need to give their clients access to files. Making these files both easily accessible and secure can be difficult.<</<O:P> </< P>

One solution to this is using FTP ( File transfer Protocol ). But to the uninitiated setting up user accounts, directories and permissions can be difficult. FTP is also not very secure as it sends user name and passwords in plain text (unencrypted) so anyone with basic knowledge of network sniffing could be listening in on your passwords.

</< P>For these reasons duo have developed a HTML file sharing system. It comes with an easy to use interface to add new users and modify permissions. The file sharing login area is also secure as it never sends a password over the Internet, instead it only sends a randomly encrypted hash of the password. This makes the log-in system much more difficult to hack than a simple ftp system.

www.boscoclc.org.uk currently use one version of our file sharing system to allow teachers from schools in the east Liverpool area share files.

Once one of these systems in in place it can be used for all types of files. Unlike email there is no 5Mb limit and once uploaded many people can download the same file. The only limit is the amount of web space you have available. Also because it is written in HTML it can be seamlessly integrated into your site. The folders and icons can all be designed to match your corporate identity.
