AS-File Transfer 7.0 - Encrypted file-sharing for Internet/LAN.
Screenshot of AS-File Transfer 7.0
An encrypted file-sharing program for computer-to-computer, either over the Internet or inside the LAN. The client program sends the files and the server program receives them. A password is required to send files to the server. Can resume interrupted transfers. Communicates with TCP through port 49152. The recipient has to make sure that the port is open all the way.
Benefits
- The transfers are protected with 256-bit LEA-256 encryption.
- The program uses proof-of-knowledge technology to let the client prove that it has the correct key, without revealing too much if someone intercepts the network traffic. In addition to protecting the encryption key, this technology prevents copying of a successful login to the server, since random data is used.
- Displays information such as current progress, speed and remaining time. The server also shows the number of files in queue at the client.
- The server can receive files from multiple clients at the same time.
- The port for the server can be changed by adding the port number as a parameter to "AS-FILE-TRANSFER-SERVER.EXE". E.g. Run => "C:\Andreas Software\AS-FILE-TRANSFER-SERVER.EXE" "50000" => OK.
- You don't need to enter the password twice, instead you can press [F12] if you want to show or hide the password. This applies to both the server and the client.
- Press [F8] in the client to clear the list and then read the file "AS-FILE-TRANSFER-CLIENT-FILES.TXT" (in the same folder as the program) which should contain full paths to files, separated by line breaks. The file is read in UTF-8 format.

Multiple instances
The sender can start multiple instances of the client, to e.g. send files to multiple recipients at the same time.
The server can also be started in multiple instances, if different port numbers are used.
Note: If multiple instances are used, it is recommended to copy the program to different folders, so that they get their own files for settings.
And of course you can use the client to send files and the server to receive files on the same computer at the same time.
IPv6 Support
The server supports IPv6, by listening on all available adapters. The client also supports IPv6, but may need some help on the way. If you specify an address that contains colon, the client automatically selects IPv6, otherwise it tries to connect with IPv4. In those cases where you want to use IPv6, even if the address does not contain colon, you start the client with the parameter "/IPv6".
Is the encryption a bottleneck?
It depends on your computer's performance and how much bandwidth you have, and the counterparty's performance and bandwidth.
On my computer, with the processor Intel Core i3-9100, the program is able to encrypt approximately 80 MB/sec. which is the same as 640 Mb/sec. Therefore, I need to have more bandwidth than 640 Mb/sec. in order for the encryption to be a bottleneck on my side. The program rarely load the entire processor during single transfers as the encryption is single-threaded.
Problems?
In case of problems getting the transfers to work, ensure that both parties have the same break date in AS-FILE-TRANSFER-COMPATIBILITY-ENGLISH.TXT.
