text: # FHFS (file server)
  
  FHFS is a FTP and HTTP Web Server package, transparently based on HFS and FileZilla. FHFS is built to act as an all-in-one user-based file hosting website, good for schools, businesses, etc. whose students/employees need to easily transport files. FHFS is designed specifically for account-based storage, not easily compatible with other uses or using over-top of an original HFS setup. Early development was started in January 2011, beta builds were tested in October 2011, version 1.0 was released on 11/3/2011. FHFS was started to accelerate development on FileSplat.com, as well as showcase the capabilities of HFS macros. FHFS 2.0 was released on 10/28/2012, exactly one year after the first beta of 1.0. FHFS was loosely based on source code from www.filesplat.com at the time, and was created by the same developer. Filesplat no longer uses FHFS. FHFS is written in several different languages, including: HFS Macros, XML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOS, PHP, and C#. FHFS is recognized by the developer of HFS. FHFS 2.0.5 contains roughly 9500 somewhat-compressed lines or 412,000 characters of original code.
