This is a great app. It is a small server to host a web site. Handy for sharing files over a LAN or even the internet. Very Easy to use. Allows people to download and even upload files to and from your server, limit these actions to particular users (username/password) for security and lot more.

note: to use on the internet, if your behind a router/firewall, you will need to do a port forward to allow your web server to be seen outside of your private network, its easy to do, get stuck, just ask!

Planned for later versions is scripting language support like php, integration with a mySQL DB, and lots more...but thats later.

The best part, its a single executable, only about 500KB, i carry it around on my flash disk and in the options you can change it to save all the settings to a file, rather than the registry, so its even portable!

enjoy!

I recommend you to take a look at this http file server. You can set up your own file server for managing and sharing files through web browser. It's like DropBox but self-hosted so that you can keep all your confidential files on your own server. The web based UI looks and feels like Windows 7 Explorer. It offers features that are not possible with a FTP server such as zipping files, downloading multiple files and folders in single download etc. It's also easier to set up and administrate than a FTP server.
