Web based file transfer server

Click the OK button when you're done. That's it. If you've already created a user on this domain, you can now head straight to your client computer and fire up your favorite Web browser.

This should load up the login screen as shown below. As shown on the screenshot, we've already entered the appropriate Domain , Username , and Password on the fields provided. Please do so as well and then click the Login button when you're done.

If you're able to login successfully, you should then be brought into the Web file transfer service environment. Please read this page of documentation for instructions. As you can see from that last screenshot, the things you can do in a web file transfer session are similar to what you normally do when you FTP a file.

For instance, you can upload files, download files, create directories, delete directories, delete files, navigate to a different directory, and rename a directory. We can discuss all these on separate blog posts but at least you now know what needs to be done if you want to set up a web-based file transfer.

The digital certificate will serve as your server's credentials and will help the user's browser determine whether your HTTPS server can be trusted or not. In order for the browser to trust your server's digital certificate, the certificate should bear a Certificate Authority's CA's digital signature.

Without that signature, the browser would alert the user like this:. The user can still disregard that warning and proceed to login to your server but at least he would have already been notified of the risks.

The public key and private key, on the other hand, will be used to secure certain pieces of data that are exchanged during what is known as the SSL Handshake.

An SSL handshake culminates with the creation of a session key, which is a symmetric key used for encrypting whatever files are uploaded and downloaded during the HTTPS file transfer session. We'll talk about where you can configure those algorithms in the succeeding section. In the meantime, here's what you need to do to prepare a server key. Key algorithm - The algorithm used in generating this key. Key length - The length of the key in bytes. Valid options are and Although longer key lengths naturally translate to stronger encryption, they can also be more computationally demanding.

Note, for key lengths greater than you must install the Unlimited Jurisdiction Policy Files. Common name - The name you wish to assign this key. Typically the domain name this key will serve is ftp.

Organizational unit - The unit within your organization that this key will be used for, e. In order for that server key's corresponding certificate to be trusted by your end user's browsers you would have to submit a Certificate Signing Request CSR for this particular server key to a Certificate Authority. Text, fonts and vector elements are preserved and rendered in high-res with no rasterization. Zoom in as much as you want, your documents will look great and same as they do in the program that created them.

Media Player will first try Html5 video feature of the browser and if not supported it will try Flash mode. Image Viewer supports zooming, panning, rotating and flipping. Transparent images will be displayed with a nice background pattern to differentiate them from images with solid color backgrounds.

This is similar to "Compressed Folders" in Windows Explorer but for all archive formats not just for zip format. In addition, it supports displaying thumbnails while in archive and supports browsing nested archive files so it's more advanced than Windows Explorer's feature.

The zip files can be modified but other formats are read-only. For example, you can directly upload into zip files and download files directly from all archive files.

Upload multiple files or even whole folders at once. Upload by dragging and dropping directly from your computer. Upload files of unlimited size e. Download multiple files or even whole folders at once. Download files of unlimited size e. Store your files on the local server or on the network without changing your existing folder structures. Create root folders which point to existing paths and start serving files immediately.

It's possible to connect to network folders or secured local folders via specific credentials or already authenticated Windows users. Create user accounts and groups. Limit actions, disk usage and file types on folder basis for users or groups. I have reviewed and tested a number of web based file management software. There is not one that comes close to how easy it is to use and how all functionality works properly and fast.
