Description: web service for transferring very large files
F*EX (Frams's Fast File EXchange) is a service that can be used to allow
users anywhere on the Internet to exchange very large files quickly and
conveniently.
.
The sender uploads the file to the F*EX-server and the recipient
automatically gets a notification e-mail with a download-URL.
.
Main features of F*EX:
.
* file transfer of virtually unlimited file size
* sender and recipient only need an e-mail program and a web browser
(of any kind; they do not have to install any software)
* RESEND and REGET for resuming after link failures at last sent byte
* auto-notification of recipient
* auto-deletion after download
* auto-deletion after expiration date (default: 5 days)
* full-users can create one time upload URLs for foreign users
* full-users can create sub-users, who can send only to this full-user
* full-users can create groups, an analogy to mailing lists, but for files
* admin can allow (internal or external) user self-registration
* admin can allow upload to public recipients without authentication
* admin can allow upload for LAN users without registration (anonymous upload)
* maintenance-free: no administration necessary beyond creating new
F*EX accounts
* multiple recipients only require one stored copy
* F*EX uses HTTP and needs no firewall tunnels
* support for streams, too (SEX: Stream EXchange)
* shell clients provided for commandline users: fexsend and fexget.
