O.P. RE: File Shareing Plugin (in development)
I originally make this plugin so that i could download files from my home computer at work (i leave my PC on 24/7 with msn open) without having to use some relativly complicated remote programs or starting a ftp server. To do this i needed a plugin that would automatically send a file when sent a variable command (filename) and not one that you had to specify before hand. This way i set my shared folder of my plugin to be the same as my eMule and K-Lite Downloads Folder and when ever i finnish a download it will be ready to access from work. The other reason i made it was because me and a few mates download like whores and often end up downloading the same files (wasteing bandwidth) so with this we can check eachothers download folders so we wont end up doing it.
Advantages
You dont have to send people files, they can ask for them.
You can share as much or as little as you want
Disadvantages
Security As this plugin works currently people can download any file from your computer providing they know the file name and path. ( i want to add a password option in later releases)
The average "chatter" will probably not be able to use this plugin (but then again they probably wont even know what plus is, nor will they ever want to use this plugin)
