HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Using srvany.exe and instsrv.exe to run HFS as a service

« on: July 31, 2006, 02:14:52 PM »

Do this at your own risk! Registry manipulation can cause problems!
If you do not know what I am talking about do not do this procedure!

For me this works great under XP Pro.

Get the srvany.exe and instsrv.exe from the windows 2003 resource cd or from www.techeez.com/windows_tips/service_under_nt.htm

I have the application running in folder:
C:\NonInstalledProgramFiles\HTTPFileServer\hfs.exe
If you have it in an other folder than change the folder in the reg file.

Step 1) copy the instsrv.exe and srvany.exe to c:\windows\system32\
then run the below command in the c:\windows\system32 folder

Step 2) Make a reg file from the info below between the two lines.

Step 3) Edit the reg file and change the folder path C:\NonInstalledProgramFiles\HTTPFileServer\    to your own folder path. do not forget the double slashes!!

Step 4) In Start>RUN copy the following line and run it.
instsrv HFS %SystemRoot%\System32\srvany.exe

Step 5) then insert the reg file by running it.

Step 6) change the user that runs the service to adminstator ( including password )

Step 7) reboot

Registor File looks like this.
Copy textbetween the two lines in a text file and save the text file with .reg as extension.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Feature request?

« on: July 31, 2006, 01:37:35 PM »

I have just started using HFS and I find it an excellent application for sharing files over the internet   . I have one important question at this moment.

Is it possible to have a user login on a login page first and after login only show the user the folders he is allowed to access?
If this is not Possible it would be my feature request!!!

This is better for the user because he only can see the folders he needs to use. And it is also better for security!

I am eager waiting for your answere?!

Regards,

Paul
