   qShare is an easy to use FTP server written in Qt with a built-in service   
   discovery feature.      
      
   You don't have to edit complex config files to make it run, just install it   
   and run it. Its purpose is to allow sharing files in heterogeneous LAN   
   networks. Let's imagine a network with 3 computers: one is running a Linux   
   desktop, one is running a windows XP and the last one is running windows 7.      
      
   Without a time consumming configuration step you can't share your files using   
   built-in OS utils but with qShare installed everywhere you you'll be able to   
   access the files you want to share with only a few clicks.      
      
   Since FTP is an old protocol it is supported by lots of common programs   
   (Dolphin, Firefox, internet explorer, etc...). qShare also has a built-in   
   search feature which saves some network and CPU resources by running the   
   search on the server side which sends back only the results of your request   
   instead of huge file lists.      
      
       
      
   Changelog:     
      
   --- 1.3 to 2.0 beta ---     
      
   * added support for Zeroconf (currently only works on Linux with Avahi's   
   Bonjour compatibility layer)     
      
   * multiple users can run qshare concurrently on the same computer, one   
   instance is automatically selected to be the server (if the server crashes   
   another instance is selected)     
      
   * support for server only mode (can run without any GUI system)     
      
   * built-in service discovery is more reactive: a new REFRESH request reduces   
   the time needed to refresh the whole computer list     
      
   * added a time out to detect unavailable servers     
      
       
      
   NB: paths should now look like: ftp://ip:2000/user/shared_folder/... (there   
   are 2 levels of virtual folders)
