Simple On-Demand File Sharing

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

StreamFile allows anyone to “stream” files that are too big to email without any additional need of installed software other than a browser. StreamFile is a hosted FTP replacement solution that allows streaming functionality. By streaming, we mean that when an uploader sends a file, downloaders are able to start the download process immediately. This single functionality enhancement actually allows time savings of up to 90% (compared to a traditional FTP server-to-client transfer). It’s like P2P, but with a 24h answering service. All of the file transfers have the option to be encrypted with high-grade AES 256-bit SSL encryption.
