Whois & Analysis for file-up.org

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books.

File sharing may be achieved in a number of ways.

Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, and the use of distributed peer-to-peer networking.

A file hosting service, cloud storage service, online file storage provider, or cyberlocker is an Internet hosting service specifically designed to host user files.

It allows users to upload files that could then be accessed over the internet from a different computer, tablet, smart phone or other networked device, by the same user or possibly by other users, after a password or other authentication is provided.

Typically, the services allow HTTP access, and sometimes FTP access.

Related services are content-displaying hosting services (i.e. video and image), virtual storage, and remote backup.

In computer networks, to upload is to send data to a remote system such as a server or another client so that the remote system can store a copy.

In computing, a file system or filesystem is used to control how data is stored and retrieved.

Without a file system, information placed in a storage medium would be one large body of data with no way to tell where one piece of information stops and the next begins.

By separating the data into pieces and giving each piece a name, the information is easily isolated and identified.

Taking its name from the way paper-based information systems are named, each group of data is called a "file".

The structure and logic rules used to manage the groups of information and their names is called a "file system".
