Security
Is there a security risk if I install Weezo on my computer ?
No, there isn’t. Weezo is based on Apache webserver last version. Apache is the engine of nearly 70% of all web sites worldwide. It is a reliable and extensively tested web server.
Installing this server on a personal computer does not in itself create a security threat : for instance, Apache is installed on all the Mac running Mac Os X and is part of the package in the vast majority of Linux distributions.
Does opening a "TCP port" on my computer represent a security threat ?
No, it doesn’t. Opening a TCP port to a known application - here Apache - does not create in itself a security threat for your computer.
All requests sent to your computer on this port are managed by Apache and no other software. If Apache is not running, the request is automatically rejected by your computer.
Will anybody have access to all the files on my computer ?
No, they won't. You choose who can access what on your computer. You can precisely define the directories or files you wish to share and the associated access rights. Only duely authorized users can download or modify your files !
