Why is W4-Server absolutely safe to use?
W4-Server can only send those files to clients that are below the DOCS directory.
W4-Server 'sees' the DOCS directory as the root of your diskdrive.
For example, when you installed W4-Server in the c:\windows\W4Server directory,
W4-Server can only sent files from c:\windows\W4Server\docs and below. When someone tries to use periods
(..) an error-message is sent to the client and when someone uses a " \ " (backslash) or a " / " (slash) the index.html file will be sent.
W4-Server only knows two commands : GET and POST
Any other command will be ignored. So there are no backdoors. A HTTPD doesn't need more than
those commands, so it doesn't accept other commands (for the safety of your files).
Also we didn't make any passwords for you in W4-Server. We think passwords are dangerous
and can only be stolen. The only way to access files from your server that are not in the DOCS directory
is to take a seat behind the server computer. So there are no passwords to control the server
from another place than behind the servercomputer.
No files can be sent to W4-Server, only forms that are filled out and sent back can be processed by a WTDP-file.
So again the server decides what happens with the data on the server-machine. When the format of a form that has been sent
back isn't recognized bij the WTDP-file it will be ignored. When it is recognized, the WTDP-file will act the way
you programmed it.
Why a lowbudget price?
When we (The people of W4-Server) wanted to start our own server,
we didn't have enough money to buy one.(For example the HTTPD costs US $200,-) That's why we
decided to program a server of our own. Because we also wanted others to have a server we decided
to make a simple freeware-version.
