Introduction to this document

This is an attempt to document HFS and its features. The main redactor is Massimo Melina, but anyone who would like to contribute is welcome. Help in translations and corrections is welcome too.

Introduction to HFS

Installation

HFS needs no installation. The only file you need to use this program is the hfs.exe. Just put it in a folder of your choice and run it.
My advice is to integrate it in the explorer contextual file menu. This can be done from HFS, by clicking on menu -> shell context menu -> add for all. It is a good idea also to click on Associate .vfs that you can find in the same menu.

Uninstallation

Since HFS needs no installation, it needs no uninstall procedure. Just delete the file hfs.exe. If you integrated HFS in the windows explorer, just use the menu -> shell context menu -> delete. That's it!

How to use it

A basic usage is After you drag&drop the files, the address is already copied in your clipboard, therefore if you use the paste command in a (lets say) chat window, you will get to send the address.
The address is also called URL.
Keep in mind this is one of the many ways to do the work. If you followed my previous advice you will not need to run the program before, just right-click on the file/folder you want to share, and select HFS. This way HFS will run and automatically share the item, and copy the URL in your clipboard, ready to be pasted.
