Wmware player rocks!

posted in Everyday Life |

Do I understand it? Nope but works, so what do I care.

I don’t know if I ever talked about HFS. HFS is an http file server,
open source. Coupled with stunnel it is a very robust server. But the
server wouldn’t let me user port 483 for secure connections. Say hello
to vmplayer. I did install win7 rc7100 in an empty image, install
stunnel and HFS and because they are in the same network, I can use
shared folders. I cannot do that with freeNAS.

So, what is the address of the https server? Knowledge comes in a need
to know basis ;)

So, what is the benefit of port 483 over 80? Encryption. The fact that
I want to share a couple of files with friends and family can make me
look like an uploader to the RIAA. Another benefit is that Eulalia
doesn’t need to carry a thumbdrive anymore because she can upload and
download from her special place in the 1TB hdd at any given time.

So look for HFS on the web. I am donating today.

Cheers

Carlos
