Neptune Web Server Professional
-
Version
2.1
Neptune Professional is a powerful, fast and fully-
featured web server (CGI, PHP) you can run on your
own computer. That means you can host your own
website over a local area network, or the Internet.
Share files, music, or just test-out your web page.
Neptune does not require a high specification machine
or a high connection speed to run, as file caching
and maxium connection settings can be tailored on-the-
fly to your needs. If you want to host your own
website but you can't find an ISP that doesn't bog
you down with banner adverts or maximum file size
limitations, Neptune provides many benefits such as
no space limitations, resumable downloads, multiple
domain hosting on the same IP address and the
advantage that your files don't have to be uploaded,
as they're shared directly from your hard drive.
Neptune supports password protection, letting you
choose which users have access to specific files and
folders. In addition, Virtual Folder support allows
you to map folders on your computer to folders in
your website. Neptune supports both implicit and
explicit file security - that is, you can choose to
protect specific files or folders in a directory, or
all files and folders under a given directory. The
security model is easy to manage and based on user
access privileges; not only are resources within your
website protected, you can restrict certain program
operations (Shutting down, Clear Logs) to users as
well. Neptune features a remote console, which is
accessible through any web browser. Once logged-on, a
user can view statistics about the server, reset
cache or log settings, or view event logs. When
you're away from your computer, Neptune can be set-up
to automatically upload the server address to an FTP
server of your choice so you can always find the
current address of the server wherever you are.
Neptune also allows you to design your own error
pages, such as when a file is not found, or if a user
is unauthorised to access a certain resource.
