   I got confused with FTP and HTTP in what I was reading on wiki.   
      
   https://wiki.synchro.net/history:newfilebase?s%5B%5D=transfer   
   Look under FTP   
      
    DM> Downloading

   So as stated, FTP isn't as useful since it isn't built into browsers ; and may   
   require another client and/or complications due to unique network   
   configurations.   
      
   Is there a way to share a web URL when someone downloads, vs using a protocol?   
   To facilitate a web download for large files?    
      
   I'm using webv4, I've not heard of webfileindex. So I guess I probably, do   
   have web URLs for my files; but didn't know if there was a way to turn on that   
   feature for downloads from the terminal server, or if it might be considered a   
   feature to add.   
      
   Thanks.
