FFSS stands for Fleming File Sharing System.
It is a new powerful and easy to use file sharing protocol for LANs. It has 
been designed for the purpose a replacing samba (windows neighbourhood) on any 
small or big local networks.

FFSS somehow works like samba, that is a computer shares many folders, and a 
local computer connects to those shares, to retrieve or upload files.
But FFSS has many advantages to reduce the harmful effects of sharing lots of 
files on a pretty big network :
  - Shared files listing is hold in memory, so your HD will not be requested 
each time someone browse your shares. Faster, and noiseless.
  - Download and upload can be achieved using streaming (only supported mode by 
samba), or full file (FTP-like) using (or not, depending on your server 
configuration) checksum.
  - FFSS includes neteject functions : 
you can disable a share (no connection allowed), or set your server in silent 
mode (only file browsing allowed, no download).
  - FFSS server includes a FTP compatibility optiona FTP compatibility option 
(all shares are retrievable from the FTP root directory).
  - A powerful search engine is included in the FFSS master, which allow very 
fast file search, using many tags (video, music, pictures, doc, zip, exe...)

it depends on another librairie availaibable at :
