Is it valuable to have server on your phone?

There are hundred of application for the purpose of sharing files at android market.
But the main problem they embrace is to upload files to other server. where is the problem?
Your private files will be uploaded to a server that you don't know or you don't believe, and there is a possibility somebody could access to them.
If the file is not so important and not valuable to be treated privately, this process hasn't got any problem.
But imagine to share the file that must be secured and nor revealed to others. Anybody couldn't accept any possibility to be accessed.
The best solution for this problem is to have web server on your phone.
If you have web server running on your phone, you don't need to upload any files to unknown or unbelievable server. Only you check the files to be shared with selected members. That's all.
The selected members will see the shared files by web browser using passcode.
In this point, I think it is valuable to have web server running on my phone.
Hope to know others' opinion.

PS: The iFMW app for Android is to satisfy this users' need. It is based on mobile web server running on any android phone and valuable for those who care of privacy and want to control shared contents.
Recommend to use it.

 

It's sure that iFMW doesn't upload any files to a server. Please let me know why did you think iFMW stores files in the cloud.
By the way, iFMW will be upgraded to support to build php based web site on the phone. it's same as a classic webserver.

 

So why is it necessary to be registered if there is no need to upload contents to external server?
The iFMW is based on gateway service. Normally a smartphone can't be a server, but it is realized by gateway service.
In other words, when a user register an userid, this userid will be used as identification in order to turn the smartphone into a server.
It can be figured out as DNS service, but it is technically different from it.
All the files remain on your smartphone and nothing is saved at gateway server.
It could be some P2P or F2F network. But the difference is that the iFMW is based on web server, so it can be accessible from web browser.
I'm afraid that my answer doesn't convince you.

Thanks for your interest.

 

I don't mean you trust me. Only thing I wanted to say is that nothing is uploaded and saved at outer server. All datas remains on your phone and you can share it.

Thanks.
