New to HFS

[Cvscott81]

Hi all. I apologize in advance, I'm out of my depth here. I'm trying to setup a simple server on my Windows 10 computer to share files with my android devices. I installed HFS, created an account and added (I think) a folder to the shared files section. When I go to the provided web address on my phone, it doesn't load. Am I missing steps to make this work?

Thanks.

try providing a screenshot, or at least say what address you are using.
It should be a local address, valid only in your local network.

Thanks for the reply. I was able to get it to work. I didn't realize it had provided two local addresses. The other one worked great. I am experiencing a separate issue, though. I decided to move this server over to an old laptop I have to use as a dedicated server machine. It's an older Win10 laptop that should suffice. However, the install is not going as smoothly. When I run the executable HFS file, the commandline gives me these errors.[image: hfs error.PNG] Any suggestions? Thanks!

the way you attached the screenshot didn't work.
it's probably not support by github when replying via email.
try using the github web page.

Sorry about that. Here you go.

for legacy reasons, hfs.exe by default stores data inside the same folder.
this is not permitted by Windows under "program files".
Easy solution: move hfs outside of program-files.
Other solution: run hfs from program-files, but specify a different working directory using parameter --cwd .
other solution: run hfs with enough permissions to write to program-files (not advised).

Yes! That was it. Thank you so much!
