Web Services and Internet Business Directory - File Sharing
File sharing is usually done by two means: server-based and P2P (peer-to-peer) networks. Server-based file sharing requires that the server implement one sharing protocal (ie. FTP) in order to give access to those using a local application.
P2P networking has included programs such as Napster and Limewire. More recent methods are streaming (ie. through podcasts) or swarming (from BitTorrent). These P2P networks have been criticized due to the ease of sharing copyrighted material, most notably music, movies and software. Copyright infringement can be a serious matter, however peer-to-peer file sharing is a legal means to share data.
A risk to file sharing is inadvertently sharing files that are supposed to be kept private, or downloading data that is infected with malware such as spyware, viruses or adware.
