Simple Web server simpleserver:www

simpleserver:www--a set of simple Windows platform infrastructure servers.

ANALOGX Company's SIMPLESERVER:WWW server can be said to be a basic function of the Web server. For those organizations that are in dire need of providing the basic WWW service in the shortest time possible, consider this free tool for the Windows platform. In the words of ANALOGX company, you just know how to drag and drop files in the Explorer, and you'll use the simpleserver:www. Figuratively speaking, it is a lite Web server.

We tested the server on the second edition of Windows98, which took less than five minutes to install, and also included downloading its 250KB installation package from the Internet.

What you should know is that simpleserver:www, in addition to the most basic WWW features, hardly covers anything you see on those more complex Web servers. It does not have a user management module, so you cannot set certain directories under the server to be private, only to provide a username and password to access. All directories under the Web server are open to all visitors. It also does not have FTP function, if you want to upload files can go directly to the server or install a separate FTP server. In addition, it does not support SSL, E-commerce is not suitable for it. But it's free, and there's no advertising or anything that bothers you.

Using simpleserver:www without any help documentation, a simple readme file is already sufficient and there is nothing special to explain. Define a directory as the server root and then start it, this is all the installation process. Simpleserver:www allows administrators to refer the Web directory to a shared directory on the local area network, which is a good feature. If you want to run CGI, you only need to copy the CGI files to the appropriate directory, and nothing else to do. Alternatively, simpleserver:www can generate access log records in a common format.

We recommend those who lack the experience of server erection and are looking for a free Web server product that they can use without learning to use simpleserver:www, for whom it is expensive and unnecessary to purchase a server version of the Windows operating system to use IIS. And the management of IIS is very difficult for simpleserver:www.

Advantages: Set extremely simple, support the local bureau shared web directory, the product's universal format access log.

Disadvantages: Lack of security features, no FTP server, no support for SSL, no remote management.
