Garbsen, Germany (PRWEB) February 19, 2004 -– HELIOS Software GmbH, a leading
provider of file, print and prepress server solutions, is now shipping HELIOS
WebShare, a secure and extremely fast server solution that enables users to
access their file servers over the Internet. WebShare replaces inefficient and
insecure file transfer methods such as FTP, VPN, ISDN, e-mail and others; using
an intuitive Web browser interface to enable real time file uploads and
downloads, document proofing, and remote file management.
HELIOS is known
worldwide for EtherShare and PCShare, its UNIX server-based network file and
print server solutions for Macintosh and PC clients. HELIOS WebShare adds a
critical new dimension - a high performance server for real time remote file
access via any Web browser.
HELIOS WebShare makes remote use of file
servers via the Internet as easy as if working on a local workstation. Files can
be accessed directly and speedily via a Web browser, so that there is no need
for any additional WebDAV, FTP, AFP or SMB/CIFS connections that typically slow
down file transfers or make the process more difficult. And, collaboration
becomes easier as users can view, access and use the same server data over the
Internet.
HELIOS WebShare is a two-tier server application. The WebShare
WebObjects server is connected to the Internet and generates dynamic HTML
content pages from data provided by the WebShare File Server. When a user wants
to access or manage files on the internal File Server, the WebShare WebObjects
Server accepts the authorization request and forwards it to the WebShare File
Server. The File Server then starts a separate process with these user access
rights so the remote user can see only the files and directories for which they
have file system permissions. Due to its two-tier server design, HELIOS WebShare
is the only Internet remote file access method that excels in extremely secure
data transfers, while being easy to install, administer and use. WebShare is
ready to use out of the box within minutes. The HTML user interface can be
customized, and all actions can be added or modified using any host scripting
language.
HELIOS WebShare enables authorized remote staff members and
customers to transfer files to and from the File Server. Downloads are highly
optimized using the HELIOS "zipstream" technology for on-the-fly compression and
transfer. Versatile options manage who can download, upload, move, rename or
delete files and folders. All tasks are immediately executed on the File Server,
so remote users can be as productive as local users. HELIOS WebShare is one of
today's fastest real time Internet remote file access applications available. No
other solutions come close to its server performance and security.
In
addition to remote file browsing, management, and transfer, HELIOS WebShare
works together with HELIOS ImageServer and HELIOS PDF HandShake to provide
remote previews of PDF, QuarkXPress and InDesign documents, as well as all major
image formats.
