File Sharing: Applications
built 177 days ago
Peer-to-peer or file-sharing programs allow you to share your files with others on the Internet -- and vice versa. File-sharing is a new and interesting technology that shows promise for future applications. However, just like you shouldn't open email attachments from people you don't trust, you should be wary about downloading files from them as well. You never know what you or your kids may find on the hard drives of random strangers on the Internet. [How file-sharing works]

Blue Coat ProxySG appliances integrate authentication mechanisms for applications using Web (HTTP) and Secure Web (HTTPS), FTP, CIFS, MAPI, and protocols for instant messaging, streaming media and peer-to-peer file sharing. In addition, ProxySG appliances can support multiple users sharing the same IP address in virtualization environments, such as with Citrix Presentation Server.

"Web users are drawn to Pando because we built a peer-to-peer file-sharing application that seamlessly integrates with the most popular online communication tools such as email, IM, podcasting, blogs and RSS," Pando CEO Robert Levitan explained. "As such, Pando's accelerated growth from 1 million to 2 million users in less than four months occurred because people are not only using Pando to send files up to 1GB by email and IM but ... to post content to Web pages."

Splooge, Inc. develops the Splooge application, a centralized-server based Peer-To-Peer media sharing application that allows Splooge members to share their media files with other members online, as well as download any media they might be interested in from other members. The Splooge application communicates to the Splooge server system via Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and a proprietary protocol. Transfers are true Peer-To-Peer and do not travel through the Splooge servers.
