• Public server: if you select this option, the server will be accessible to anyone who enters your IP in the web browser. This option should not be used if your HTTP root folder contains any secret or personal data.
• Private server: select this option to grant access to the trusted users only. If a user tries to connect to your server and doesn't know login/password, he will not be able to access the server.

HTTP server type: specifies what the server should do if the default document is not found in the requested folder.

• Web server: show the default document if it exists, or return "Error 404" otherwise.
• File server: always show directory listings, even if the default document exists in the requested folder.
• Combined server: show the default document if it exists, or show directory listings otherwise.

HTTP settings:

• Port: specify the port to listen for incoming connections. Default port is 80, if you use it, the users should only enter "http://YOUR_IP/" in their web browser to access your computer. Sometimes port 80 is used by other remote access applications, in this case you may select another port. The valid range is from 1 to 65535, but most ports from the beginning usually have fixed purposes, so it's recommended to select a port number above 1000. People usually use 8080 or 8888 when port 80 can't be used. If you specify the port number other than 80, the users will have to add a colon (:) and this port number after your IP, for example, "http://172.23.35.201:8888/".
• Default document: see "HTTP server type" for details. The most common default document names are "index.htm" or "index.html". This setting doesn't matter for "File server" type, because in this case it is ignored anyway.
• Dir listing colors: select a color scheme for directory listing (used in "file server" mode).
• Max clients: specify the maximum number of simultaneous connections or "0" to allow as many connections as there will be. The problem is that if your computer is too slow, many simultaneous connections may considerably reduce the overall performance of the computer. If you use the computer as a file server, the bandwidth of the internet connection will be divided between all users and the speed of every download will be rather slow. If you also use the same computer for your work, you will not be able to proceed with it in a comfortable way, because too many connections also increase CPU usage. However, if you set "Max clients" to "100", when the user number 101 tries to connect, he will see an error message.
• Default shared root: select a folder which will be shown when a user connects to your HTTP server. All the folders inside this folder will be also shared. You may also redefine the shared root for every user group.
• Limited upload folder: your users may not only download your files but also upload the files of their own. This folder is the only folder which may be used for uploads if the user doesn't have enough rights to upload files to any folder. This folder should be inside the root folder.

WARNING: Be careful when you share the links to your files in internet. These links are user-related. For example, if "user1" has the http root "c:\wwwroot" and "user2" has the http root "c:\wwwroot\limited", then one and the same file "c:\wwwroot\limited\file.zip" will be accessible for "user1" as "http://your_ip/limited/file.zip" and "user2" will be able to download it only as "http://your_ip/file.zip". Taking this into consideration, if you use a password protected server, you should give appropriate login and password along with the link to the file, for example, <<http://john.femitter.com/file.zip, use login "guest" and password "guest" upon authorization request>>. If you run a public HTTP server, you won't have this problem, because the root for all unauthorized users is the same.
