Kouak is a basic portable file share server over http. He let you share easily files in eterogenous environements and in just few click. He don't need installation and run on every machine from windows xp s2 to windows 7.
[size=18:6c393c128e]Why use HTTP for sharing ?[/size:6c393c128e]
HTTP is the most common natively supported protocol. He's also easy to "use". For comparaison, try to ask to your grand ma' to install ftp client and then configure the timout (cause your file is 1.2go) and then connect to the server, browse the file and found the one she need. In your side you have to setup/start the ftp server, configure a new user, give her the access, set the permissions...
With kouak you just need to run, give the url, and ark her to go to internet on the url and download the file as she do usually.
It's easier isn't it ?
The other advantage is the plurality of OS available. When we use windows share, it's ok in a windows environement. But if you have linux, bsd or MacOS computer, you need to install a lot a crappy services and drivers to try to acces to your share.
HTTP : connect and download from anywhere in anycase !
