Run HTTP Server

To setup and run an HTTP Server is quite simple. 

• Click on menu HTTP -> Sever Settings to configure the server. The fields are explained as follows:
  
  • Server Name - The name of the server.
    
  • Port - The port number the Server uses to communicate with clients. 80 is the default number used in HTTP protocol.
    
  • Password - Assign a password to protect the Server from unauthorized access.
    
  • Home Page - The default first page to be sent to the client. If no home page found, the server will send the folder structure to the client side which enables the clients to be able to browse and download files under the server root.
    
  • Allow Screen Shot - Enable the clients to take a screen shot of the server screen.
    
  • Image Quality - The quality of the screen shot image.
    
• Click on to select a folder in your PC as the server root. Please note that, this folder and its sub folders are accessible (visible) to authorized clients.
  
• Click on to start the server.
  
• Click on to test the server in the current browser.
  
• To access from other computers, type the server's IP address (found at right-bottom corner of this program at the Server Computer) in any kind of web browser. For example: http://192.168.0.100 . If the server is running and the server's firewall allows the traffic to go through, the web pages should appear in the client's web browser.
  
• To enable another computer in the global Internet to access your PC, your PC must be connected to the Internet directly (having a unique and valid Internet IP address). Start the HTTP server, inform the other side your IP address, and then the other computer can use the IP address to connect your server.
