HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Starting HFS from command line without GUI

« on: May 20, 2012, 05:38:38 PM »

yea I know, I was just asking for it.  :-)

Honestly I've been looking all over and HFS is the best at what it does.  I know you are working on next gen HFS, so hopefully you will do this one in more of a cross platform way.  ideally code that builds on other platforms, but less ideally at least if you have the main program run as a command line deamon with web UI, then it could be run under wine on linux and OSX.

thanks for listening

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Starting HFS from command line without GUI

for me to be able to use it in a server environment, the app needs to start WITHOUT a gui.  I am trying to use it with Wine on linux.  When I run on a linux machine that has X server running, then the gui is displayed and everything is fine.  if I try to run on a simpler machine with no XServer, then there will be error and the program will not start. 

I realize that the GUI is not neccessary really to use the program, its just a convenience.  But what I'm saying is that as long as the program always tries to show a gui, then the program cannot run on a windowless server.  If you had an option that runs the program in command line mode, without a gui.....then it could be used.

By the way, with the gui, it runs very well on wine.  Unfortunately my linux server does not support any GUI's.

Just a suggestion, if HFS had a non-gui mode of operation it would really be be beneficial to me.  I used to use HFS on a windows box, but now I'm using a linux server with no gui.  HFS is so great.  Everything should be configurable via config file or through HTTP perhaps.  But if there was a mode to start HFS without GUI, then I would run it with wine on my linux box and be very very happy.  I have not found anything else out there that works quite as well as HFS for serving files through HTTP.

doh.  missed that. Thanks.  Is that in 2.2 version or should I try out 2.3beta?  Incidentally, which is the last semi stable release of 2.3b?  Seems to have quite a few nice new features.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Hide folders by user?

« on: August 08, 2010, 10:02:11 PM »

new HFS user here.  Nice package!  Is there a way to configure HFS so that when a user is logged in, the only visible folders to them will be the ones they have access to?  Basically I want to hide the ones they don't have access to, but if they were to login to a user account that has access, then see the folder.

I see the HIDE feature, but from what I can tell, it unilaterally hides the folder, regardless of who the user currently is.
