    Hi
    I am thinking of making a file sharing application for myself and a few friends as a side project. I'd rather not write the server part of the file sharing and I'm thinking that I will use an ftp or http server. The server will be on each client to server files to other clients.

    I'd just like some opinions on this? Is there a better server out there?
    Thanks in advance.

    I use mesh to sync file across all my decives (PC's, Laptops and Mobile). Find it very handy and way you want to code it not get a ready made.

    If you want to code up some solution then maybe look at Azure

    Thanks for the reply. I will look into those.


    What do you think of jetty as a server in a file sharing application. Is it suited to transferring file ranging from small to large in size?
