F*EX For Linux

F*EX (also known as Frams' Fast File EXchange) is a free, platform-independent and open source web-based service implemented Perl, HTML and JavaScript, and designed from the offset to be used for sending very big files from one computer to another.

The application is capable of transferring files of virtually any size. It is UNIX based, supports auto-notification of recipient, auto-deletion after expiration date and auto-deletion after download, supports streams, includes REGET and RESEND functions for resuming the file transfer operation after a failure, and offers support for creating sub-users.

Another interesting feature is the ability to send files to more than one user simultaneously, an operation that allocates storage space only once per transfer. It’s a maintenance-free software that does not require system administrator rights, except when creating F*EX accounts.

Users will full permissions will be able to create sub-users that can send file only to the super-user that created the account, to create one-time upload URLs for guest users, as well as to create groups of users.

On the other hand, administrators will be able to allow internal or external user self-registration, to enable support for anonymous uploading of files to users on a LAN (Local Area Network), and to enable support for uploading files to public recipients, without authentication.

In order to use F*EX, the user will need only a web browser and an e-mail program. The software has been successfully tested with any modern web browser/email client program, on Linux, BSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.

Being a HTTP service, no firewall-tunnels or any other software are required to use this program, which has been successfully installed on computers supporting either of the 64-bit (x86_64) and 32-bit (x86) architectures.
