I had a walk on
secunia website, as i always heard about them on matter of security.
There i had a look at the status of HFS and similar software.
Easy File Sharing Web Server: 2 unpatched advisories, starting from 2006
http://secunia.com/advisories/28007/http://secunia.com/advisories/22602/WWW File Share Pro: 2 unpatched advisories, starting from 2003
http://secunia.com/advisories/12111/http://secunia.com/advisories/9526/And they are
not free.
BadBlue personal is freeware, but has 5 unpatched advisories, also marked as "highly critical".
Myweb is not free, with 1 advisory, patched.
HFS has only 1 advisory, patched before its publishing (few hours after i was contacted).
And it is open source, free.
Anyway, it is nice to be free to choose
