About: HFS (Http File Server) is a simple, standalone web server designed for file sharing.

Notes:
- I haven't been able to get AdjustPaths to work on the binary file in which the VFS (virtual file system) is stored. So for now, if the drive letter changes, the VFS may need to be recreated manually -- although it looks like the program does store relative paths on removable drives.
- Windows Firewall, or other firewalls, may need to have their settings changed, which may require Admin privileges.
- Making the server work through a NAT router/firewall may not be trivial, especially when traveling.
2008-03-28 Dev Test 3: cleaned up, tightened up some of the magic. The filename says 2.2d, but the enclosed file is 2.3 beta. They do seem to be interchangeable. Please report whether you would recommend the "release" versus a stable "beta" should be in this package.

i was uploading fofp and i saw this program
i will try as soon as i can
and i can take a look at ur code to see if i can help
Please search before posting. ~Thanks
So, here's some notes that you might want to fix.
I understand that you've chosen 2.2d, but the latest beta is rather stable and a lot more featured. Anyway, it's not a problem to remove 2.2d and use the 2.3 instead.
Anyway, some fixing required, but it works.

rab040ma, you are doing a great job on all of your apps, however, the one issue i've noticed is that you leave a lot of unneeded files in the other/source directory. please only include the needed files, it will reduce file size by quite a bit.

ok....so I want to change the template for the html, but I can't seem to figure out where in the portable apps directory structure the new template should go. Any ideas? So far all I get is junk.
Switch from "Easy" to "Expert" mode and there will be a menu choice for edit template.

put in my new template info but it wasn't finding the images etc...
Did you try the instructions?

If they do not work, you should probably ask on that web site how to make them work.

Why wouldn't you just Change where HFS stores its data instead of making it portable this way. It was already portable Or at-least I believe it is. Open the menu and go to "save options" click "to file"
Its easier for the data to be saved to the registry instead of saving a file. Plus its faster to do it that way, all u do is exit and it saves it to it. I think HFS only stores to the registry so it would be easier to have the registry backed up before deleted.

If you assume that only geeks will want to do something like this, then yes, it is already portable ... IF you select "to file" and IF you put your shared directory on the USB stick and IF you choose settings that make sense when you are on the road.
Just because it is portable does not mean it will integrate well into the Portable Apps Suite, nor does it mean that it defaults to settings that are easy for people to use in a portable way.
The launcher/installer and default options are attempting to set things up so the starting point is settings that are fairly ok for a portable app, and then to make sure the settings are preserved and backed up automatically by the backup routine. Yes, you can do all those things manually, but why would you want to if the launcher can do it for you?

I've cleaned up the package, tweaked the first run magic, and posted test 3. Please try it out and see if I've responded to the comments adequately.

Tried the program on my computer and it works like a charm
I never realized this program was open source. Did the licence change? This would be a worthy inclusion to the PortableApps stable IMHO.
rab040ma hasn't been around in awhile to my knowledge.

I figured as much. Fortunately, the awesomeness of this little program isn't tied to the presence of abscence of rab040ma.
Thanks for the info.
The other thing is that as near as I can tell, the development on the apps itself has been stalled.

Actually, developement is pretty recent. If you follow the "Beta versions Available on the Forum" link on download page you'll find that there is a test release that was posted Jan 26, 2011
