Remote Files Server Edition has many advantages in comparison with other ways of sharing computer files:

1. Windows sharing
At first, as it was mentioned above, Remote Files SE does not have limit of simultaneous connections that non-server operating systems have. So, you can save about $800 on difference in prices.
You can share files online. Remote Files SE can be embedded into your online interface. Thus, it may be useful if a client must submit some files to your server to complete the order. For example, in microelectronics it can be data for printed circuit board or controller production in format of one of prevalent CAD packets. Uploading files by our software is modern, easy, convenient, quick, and respectable way for your customers. Also, Remote Files SE can give your clients an ability to fix errors in time by uploading new files, informing you (if configured) that your client is going to change something. This helps your clients feel safe, eliminates their risks, lets you respond on-the-fly to any changes in order and gives your business an edge over your competitors.

2. FTP software
Remote Files SE differs from any FTP software in the presence of easy to use online interface, more abilities and no necessity of special client software to communicate with the server. Files under Remote Files SE control are available from any computer with online browser what means from any computer in the world.
If some of your employees or clients prefer to work with FTP, Remote Files SE has embedded FTP server.

3. Web applications
You could use web server software and huge number of scripts to repeat Remote Files SE functionality. But there is one important difference. Web server software was originally developed to give unified access to any document on the server to anyone. Scripts and directives must be created to block unauthorized access. Remote Files SE, quite the contrary, provides account dependent access to authorized people only. User rights can vary from full access to no access (directory listing only). Developing the same functionality by professional programmers costs much more than $60 for Remote Files SE. Moreover, due to ability to change web interface of Remote Files SE to correspond to your site interface, there is no reason to create remote access to your server files yourself, rather than use this software.
