Computer networks allow you to share files with friends, family, coworkers and customers. Before the Internet and home networks became popular, files were often shared using floppy disks. Nowadays, some people still use CD-ROM / DVD-ROM disks and USB keys for transfering their photos and videos, but networks give you more flexible options.
Network file sharing is the process of copying files from one computer to another using a live network connection. This article describes the different methods and networking technologies available to help you share files.
All modern computer operating systems contain built-in FTP (File transfer Protocol) client software, and popular Web browsers like Internet Explorer can also be configured to run as FTP clients. Alternative FTP client programs are also available for free download on the Internet. As with Windows file sharing, security access options can be set on the FTP server requiring clients to supply a valid login name and password.
For decades, files have been transferred from person to person over a network using email software. Email systems are designed for transferring small amounts of data and generally limit the size of individual files that can be shared.
In addition, in our generation today, there were lots of websites that are applicable also for transferring a file. An example to that is facebook, twitter, yahoomail, etc and also our cellular devices. These websites are not just for transferring a file but also a web browser that would help us to communicate easily our love ones, friends, and sometimes we are using these sites to stalk someone whom we "like".
