too many requirements are needed to share something from your kitchen.

at http://roboshare.com you can share with a click of a button and within seconds have your entire picture or video folder available on the web. As an identity you can use your Facebook ID or create an account.

On Facebook this utility is available at http://apps.facebook.com/roboshare

Roboshare tunnel works through any http proxy, no need for ISA client. And btw, only .NET 2.0 is required.

We've got a dead-simple file-sharing tool in the samples that shares out a directory as an Atom feed. No client too required, you just use your browser to navigate and download.

This here is about sharing any HTTP endpoint, not a file folder.

We don't need ISA Firewall client, either. As of M5 there is a full-duplex HTTP tunnel that snaps into place whenever necessary.

make a simple test. Put an mp3 file in your http endoint hosted in the kitchen. Then go to iPhone and listen to that mp3.

Let me know how it works :)

I had this working on http://roboshare.com,

(see http://roboshare.com/homehosting.aspx)

but I removed this feature in last release for several reasons:

1. chunked posts and chunked responses don't work. (same for plain responses which are very long)

2. it makes the website really slow, which is ok for development purposes, but doesn't make sense at all in production.

3. several forum posts and threads with other website owners made me think nobody wants this.

4. there are other ways people can host websites at home, like dyndns. yet people chose to have a hosting plan with 99.9 uptime.

5. your upload speed in your kitchen will be a killer bottleneck for your website.

Well, from my kitchen I can spool HD video to Starbucks via the Service Bus. I've got 15 MBit/s symmetric, which means that my upload speed isn't an issue.

The Service Bus is for ISVs like you. There's no competition here. I like your app.

You may have a good upload speed, but usually people don't have it in their kitchens. Not everyone needs such a high tech kitchen as you do :)

I added back support for sharing http endpoints on http://roboshare.com

Follow the steps at http://roboshare.com/homehosting.aspx and your website can be live in few minutes. If you work at microsoft, try mapping internal http://paystub to a public address and see what everyone has to say about your paycheck. :)

You are right, there is no competition here. Service Bus is for ISVs, while Roboshare.com is for individuals like you, who spend their entire day configuring and deploying files on machines located in different networks and domains. It is easier to copy files directly with roboshare than use a gateway machine, copy them to a common share, and then from there to a final destination. I used to do this a lot and waste a lot of time on this. That's why I created Roboshare, to help people share and access their files anywhere in a simple and easy to use manner.
