How File Sharing Works?

The whole idea behind file sharing is to connect everyone in a network so that every computer can copy files from any other computer over the internet. The types of files we share can be anything from programs and pictures to music and movies. A file sharing program helps to connect to one of the many file sharing networks available. A file sharing program turns our computer into both client and server. As a client our computer can search a file sharing network to find and copy files from any other computer on the network. As a server our computer can provide files to anyone else on the network.
