This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden

Package: Fleming File Sharing System
System name: ffss
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project
FFSS stands for Fleming File Sharing System.
It is a new powerful and easy to use file sharing protocol for LANs. It has
been designed for the purpose a replacing samba (windows neighbourhood) on any
small or big local networks.
FFSS somehow works like samba, that is a computer shares many folders, and a
local computer connects to those shares, to retrieve or upload files.
But FFSS has many advantages to reduce the harmful effects of sharing lots of
files on a pretty big network :
- Shared files listing is hold in memory, so your HD will not be requested
each time someone browse your shares. Faster, and noiseless.
- Download and upload can be achieved using streaming (only supported mode by
samba), or full file (FTP-like) using (or not, depending on your server
configuration) checksum.
- FFSS includes neteject functions :
you can disable a share (no connection allowed), or set your server in silent
mode (only file browsing allowed, no download).
- FFSS server includes a FTP compatibility optiona FTP compatibility option
(all shares are retrievable from the FTP root directory).
- A powerful search engine is included in the FFSS master, which allow very
fast file search, using many tags (video, music, pictures, doc, zip, exe...)
A recent tar.gz is online at :

it depends on another librairie availaibable at :
