HELIOS WebShare scripts

HELIOS WebShare is a high-performance server, which enables fast and secure real time file access via any Web browser. Authorized users, wherever they are, can easily use the file server without exposing it to the Internet. It is possible to include scripts in the WebShare workflow which automate tasks, add features, etc. WebShare comes with custom scripts and sample action scripts.
