-
-<para>&kpf; provides simple file sharing using &HTTP; (the Hyper Text
-Transfer Protocol,) which is the same protocol used by web sites to provide
-data to your web browser. &kpf; is strictly a public fileserver, which means
-that there are no access restrictions to shared files: whatever you select
-for sharing is available to anyone.</para>
-
-<para>&kpf; is designed to be used for sharing files with friends, not to
-act like a fully-fledged web server such as
-<application>Apache</application>. &kpf; was primarily conceived as an easy
-way to share files with others while chatting on <acronym>IRC</acronym>
-(Internet Relay Chat, or <quote>chat rooms</quote>.)</para>
-
-<para>&kpf; runs as an applet inside &kicker;. This means that it takes up
-little space on your screen and its status is always visible. To start the
-&kpf; applet, <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on &kicker; and choose
-<guimenu>Add Applet to Panel...</guimenu> to open the <guilabel>Add
-Applet</guilabel> dialog. Select <guilabel>Public File Server</guilabel> and
-click the <guibutton>Add to Panel</guibutton> button.</para>
-
-<para>&kpf; employs the concept of shared folders. You may choose one or
-more folders to make public, and all files in that folder (and any
-subfolders) will be shared.</para>
-
-<note><para>Please be extremely careful about which folders you share. Remember
-that all files in the folder and its subfolders, including
-<quote>hidden</quote> files (<quote>dotfiles</quote> to the techies) will be
-made available to the world, so be careful not to share sensitive
-information, such as passwords, cryptographic keys, your addressbook,
-documents private to your organization, &etc;.</para></note>
-
-<para>Once &kpf; is running, you will see a square applet with a thin sunken
-bevel and an icon depicting an <guiicon>hot air balloon</guiicon>. The
-balloon is visible when no folders are being shared.</para>
-
-<para>To share a folder, <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the
-balloon icon and a pop-up menu will appear, containing only one item,
-<guimenuitem>New Server...</guimenuitem>. Selecting this entry will cause a
-<quote>wizard</quote> to appear, which will ask you a few simple
-questions. Completing the questions will set up a folder for sharing.</para>
-
-<para>There is an alternative to using the applet directly when you want to
-share a folder. &kpf; is integrated with &konqueror;.</para>
-
-<para>With &konqueror; open and displaying a folder,
-<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the background and bring up the
-<quote>Properties</quote> dialog. On install, &kpf; added a
-<guilabel>Sharing</guilabel> tab to this dialog. You will be offered the
-option of starting &kpf; if it is not running. Choosing
-<guibutton>Ok</guibutton> will send a signal to the &kpf; applet, asking it
-to add a new share.</para>

-directories to different people, see the <ulink
