Abstract:
The file server offers users convenience. It overcomes the traditional and tedious way of storing and searching for files. This system therefore increases the speed and standardization of the staff.
It offers a better platform for sharing files. The file server has only one person (super admin) who is fully authorized to modify or update files to prevent intrusion. The super admin can monitor the login activities of the users, also block and unblock users, upload and delete files.
This system allows the admin to create staff accounts using the company mail to enable them access to files pertaining their respective departments. Confidential and sensitive information are secure, due to the fact that only the super admin has access to the central archive to upload files on the file server An id and password are provided for each user. Therefore, it provides a sense of security for the users.
The structured methodologies have been chosen to develop the File Server. The structured design methodology adopts a formal step-by-step approach to the System Development Life Cycle that moves logically from one phase to the next. The methodology used involved system analysis, system design, system development, and system testing. The system design will be achieved using HTML, CSS AND JavaScript for the frontend and PHP and SQLite for backend design.
It was concluded that the File server system improves the process of sharing files, thus reducing the time wasted as well as the errors that are involved in the manual process. The File Server system is indeed a very promising solution for the handling of confidential information and should be undoubtedly patronized.
