HELIOS ships WebShare for fast and secure
remote Internet file
sharing
Garbsen,
Germany--- February 18, 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.
