• Customizable Appearance -- The appearance of the user interface is highly customizable. Haxial recognizes that people have widely varying tastes, and what is delicious to one person is disgusting to another person, and what is beautiful to one person is hideous to another person. KDX solves this problem by letting you choose and customize its appearance using "skins" / "schemes". [More Info]
  
  
• Private Messaging -- You can send private messages to the people of your choice. KDX Client records the messages that have been sent and received, so at any time you can easily re-read any part of the conversation. KDX is also able to conduct multiple private message sessions concurrently, all organized neatly and efficiently within the 1 window (even if the people you are talking to are on different servers). Sending messages with KDX is MUCH faster than e-mail. Messages usually arrive nearly instantly, compared to e-mail which can be delayed for significant amounts of time. The blinking WonderLight™ alerts you when new messages arrive.
  
  
• Voice Chat -- KDX includes a multi-user "Internet Telephone", so it lets you talk (literally, without typing), to 1 or more people over the Internet. Group conversations ("conference calls") are supported. Using KDX instead of long-distance or international telephone calls can save you a lot of money. [More Info]
  
  
• Text Chat -- The Chat feature allows you to have a text-based conversation with multiple people simultaneously. Everything you type into the chat appears on the screen of everyone who is inside that chat "room", and vice-versa. Multiple chat "rooms" and private chats are supported. You can also send a special Chat Invitation to one or multiple people, inviting them to participate in the chat.
  
  
• IRC Chat -- Administrators can create KDX chat "rooms" that function as gateways/portals to IRC channels in an IRC network, thus increasing the number of people you can chat with using KDX, and allowing KDX and IRC users to communicate with each other.
  
  
• News System -- KDX includes a "message board"-style news system where people can post messages in a semi-permanent manner that can be read by other people. KDX supports multiple newsgroups, so messages can be organized into various topics. You can also restrict access to certain newsgroups, thus allowing some classes of accounts to read the newsgroup, but not others.
  
  
• Direct Client Connection (DCC) -- KDX Client can connect to a KDX Server, which is ideal for multi-user environments, but KDX Client can also be used by itself -- clients can connect to each other directly to communicate without requiring the use of a server.
  
  
• Address Book -- A built-in Address Book window makes it easy to record your account details at various servers. With a single click, you can connect to a server that is in your Address Book.
  
  
• Personalized Identity -- Personalize your online identity with a User Icon that represents you. Other people see this when communicating with you. User Icons are 32x32 pixels, and can be ANY image you desire (you are not limited to a set of icons). In addition to the icon, your online identity can be personalized with a name, a description, colors, and status icons (such as "away" or "sleeping").
  
  
• Multiple Connections -- The one copy of the KDX client can connect to multiple servers simultaneously.
  
  
• Multiple Operating Systems -- KDX is available for MS Windows, MacOS, GNU/Linux, and FreeBSD users. It has excellent compatibility, so for example, MacOS users have no problem communicating with MS Windows users, or vice-versa.
  
  
• Sound Lists -- KDX Client supports "Sound List" files which are a fun way to make the client play sounds when certain events occur. You can download a pre-made Sound List file from the Haxial website, or you can make your own using the KDXSoundListEdit utility.
  
  
• File/Folder Transfer -- You can use KDX to send and receive files (upload and download). KDX can even automatically transfer whole folders of files, including any sub-folders and their sub-folders etc. You can queue file transfers, so that they will not begin until the prior transfers have finished. This is very convenient because it means you do not have to be present at the computer to start the next download when the first one finishes -- it will happen automatically (simultaneous transfers are also supported). KDX also displays the current speed, amount of data transferred, and estimated time remaining of each transfer. KDX supports very long file names (255 characters), and huge multi-terabyte sized files (64-bit).
  
  
• Resume File Transfers -- If you are disconnected or temporarily lose your internet connection or are otherwise interrupted during a file or folder transfer, you can reconnect to the server, and start the transfer again, and it will continue from the point where you were interrupted (no need to start again from the beginning). This even works with folder transfers.
  
  
• Automatic Download Sorting -- KDX can automatically sort the files that you download into various folders according to the file type, such as Images, Audio, etc.
  
  
• File Browsing -- KDX can be used to browse the contents of folders on the server computer. This includes a hierarchical display for quick navigation of the folder hierarchy. The Filter feature allows you to type part of a file name, and the file list will be filtered to show only those items that contain the text you typed.
  
  
• Cached File Lists -- When browsing the files, KDX Client caches/remembers the file lists (folder contents), so you do not have to wait when returning to a folder that you visited previously.
  
  
• Extremely Fast File Searching -- The files/folders on the server computer can be searched extremely quickly, even if there are hundreds of thousands of files, allowing users to nearly instantly determine the location or existence of a particular file or files. This is because KDX is able to generate a catalog/index of all the files.
  
  
• Encryption -- KDX uses strong encryption for your security and to protect your privacy. Even file transfers are encrypted! [More Info]
  
  
• UPnP Routers Supported -- If you share your Internet access between multiple computers (using a router), then you will appreciate KDX's ability to automatically configure your router (assuming it supports UPnP) for use with KDX. KDX can also be used with older non-UPnP routers, but then you have to configure the router manually.
  
  
• Trackers -- KDX Trackers are a great way to find KDX Servers. Trackers are like an online directory of servers. You can connect to a KDX Tracker to obtain listings of servers that are currently online, including a short description. KDX Tracker also supports multiple groups, so servers can organize themselves into various topics of interest. Trackers are also useful for servers with dynamic IP addresses, which is fully supported.
  
  
• Unicode -- KDX supports Unicode, which is the international standard for allowing characters from all languages of the world to be used in text. This is particularly useful for non-English speakers who wish to communicate with people in their own language, which may use a non-Latin alphabet. (Note characters can only be displayed if they are present in the font that you are using, ofcourse.)
  
  
• Window Management -- KDX windows can be minimized to a special dock window, thus temporarily removing them from the screen without closing them. A quick click in the instantly restores the window. You can also hit the F1 key or control-shift-W (command-shift-W) to show a popup menu with a list of all windows in the program. Click a window to bring it to the front. Or use the arrow keys and then return/enter. This allows you to switch between windows more quickly.
  
  
• No Installation -- KDX can be carried on a CD or a USB flash drive (or other portable storage) and launched directly from the drive and used on the computer without installation.
  
  
• KDX URLs -- Supports KDX URLs. For example, a KDX URL in a webpage can launch KDX and connect to a server. (May require operating system to be configured appropriately.)
  
  
• Alien Technology -- Haxial has negotiated with aliens to gain access to secret alien technology, including a program called "Kaa`DX", which is written in an advanced alien programming language. Haxial has been busily porting Kaa`DX to Earth operating systems. So with KDX, you're getting a product which incorporates advanced alien technology!

Features for Server Administrators/Owners

• Accounts -- A powerful Accounts system gives you the flexibility to determine who can connect to your server and who is permitted to perform what actions. Every significant action on the server can individually be turned on or off for a particular account.
  
  
• Account Classes -- KDX Server can easily handle hundreds of accounts. The Account Classes feature gives you a powerful way to manage a very large number of accounts with a greatly reduced amount of effort. Using Account Classes, you can easily apply a change to access privileges to a whole class of accounts instantly and in 1 step (rather than manually modifying individual accounts). KDX also realizes that not every account exactly fits into a class, and thus certain access privileges in an account can be set to override the settings in the class, while others inherit the class settings. [More Info]
  
  
• Speed Limiting -- You can optionally apply speed limits to file downloads. This means the server will transmit the file at close to the speed you choose (in kilobytes per second), or less. This is a great way to preserve your bandwidth for other purposes, or to stop your server from hogging all of your bandwidth, or to make sure that users do not use more than a reasonable amount of bandwidth, etc. Also known as bandwidth capping.
  
  
• Connection Monitor -- The "Connection Monitor" window shows you at a glance what every connection to the server is doing (for example, downloading, uploading, etc). This is an easy way to see all files that are being transferred.
  
  
• Server History -- KDX Server records every action it conducts into a special history area. You can view this remotely, and it automatically updates. So you can leave it open and watch as actions are performed on your server. The history information can also optionally be recorded to journal/log files on disk.
  
  
• History/Log Analysis -- KDX LogView is a reader designed to effectively view the contents of KDX Server history/log files. It can show statistics over totals, give data per-user and per-login, load entire folders of log files and perform advanced searches in those log files, so as to quickly and easily facilitate the viewing of the log files for the administrators. The extracted log entries can then be saved to disk so they can be sent to someone else or for later reference. [More Info]
  
  
• Server Icon -- Servers can display a Server Icon (152x40 pixels) to clients when they connect.
  
  
• Disconnect User -- When disconnecting a user, you can optionally include a message, and optionally ban them for a certain duration of time.
  
  
• User Info -- The "User Info" window shows information about the user including their account information, their address, when they logged in, when their last activity time was, what files they are transferring, etc.
  
  
• Broadcast Message -- When necessary, you can easily broadcast a message to everyone on the server using a simple command.
  
  
• Remote Configuration -- KDX Server is configured almost entirely by remote using KDX Client. This means you can easily administer your server without having to be physically present at the computer on which it is running.
  
  
• Remote Upgrade -- KDX Server has the ability to remotely upgrade itself. This means you can easily install a new version of the KDX Server software without having to physically visit the server computer, and without having to mess around with other programs.
  
  
• Multiple Base Folders -- When a user browses the files on your server, they are allowed to browse their "base folder" and any sub-folders of that folder. The base folder appears to the user as if it has no parent folder (and the user is prevented from browsing into the parent folder). This is an excellent way to limit what areas of the hard disk(s) the user can access. KDX Server supports multiple base folders, meaning that the base folder for each Account or Account Class can be different, thus allowing you to give different users access to different areas of the hard disk(s).
  
  
• Folder Access -- Access to folders can be restricted/granted on an individual per-folder basis using the Folder Access feature. Folders can also be marked as a special "Uploads" folder, meaning a folder that has the purpose of receiving uploads of files. Users can be restricted to uploading to these "Uploads" folders. You can also create "Drop Box" folders, which are folders where users are allowed to upload, but they cannot see or download the contents of the folder. For example, you might create an "Admin Drop Box", which people can use to send you files without making them available to everyone else. A Drop Box can also have an Owners, meaning the person who can view the contents of that particular Drop Box. Or you can create your own customized types of restricted-access folders.
  
  
• Alternate Port Number -- KDX Server can listen for incoming connections on an alternate port number, in addition to the main port number. This is useful if some users have problems with certain port numbers due to ISP faults or restrictions, etc. KDX Server can also conduct file transfers on the same port that is used for connecting, or it can be configured to use a different port (useful if you want to apply bandwidth restrictions only to the file transfer port).
  
  
• IP Address Restrictions -- KDX Server can be configured to deny access to users that come from certain addresses or ranges of addresses or subnets. This is very useful for keeping away troublesome users and defending against attacks. Banned addresses can optionally be set to expire automatically at a certain time.
  
  
• Attack Protection -- KDX Server automatically attempts to detect certain types of attacks against the server, and it defends against them. For example, if a user tries to flood the server, KDX Server will automatically disconnect and ban that user.
  
  
• Automatic News Archiving -- KDX Server can automatically remove old messages from a newsgroup and archive them to a text file.
  
  
• Full Alias Support -- File or folder "aliases" (also known as "shortcuts") allow you to make a file/folder accessible in more than 1 location. The alias acts much like the original item, but it can have a different name and be in a different location. KDX Server allows users to browse into folders via an alias, thus giving you a great amount of flexibility in the organization of your hard disk(s).
  
  
• Change Own Password -- If the administrator allows it, users can change their own passwords, thus saving administrators from this hassle.
  
  
• Use Either Hand -- KDX comes preconfigured for use by both right-handed and left-handed people!

Remote Administration and Control Features

• Process Monitor -- The "Process Monitor" window shows you a list of the processes (running programs) which are running on the server computer. You can also remotely exit/terminate/restart processes.
  
  
• Launch Programs -- You can remotely launch programs or scripts on the server computer.
  
  
• View/Control Display -- You can remotely view the display/screen/monitor of the server computer, and you can also control it with the keyboard and mouse. This even works between different operating systems, for example a Mac can view the screen of a Windows computer, or vice-versa. [Screenshot]
  
  
• Remote File Management -- Folders can be created on the server. Alias/shortcuts can also be created. Multiple files on the server can be moved from one location to another in the one action. Multiple files can be deleted in one action. Files can be renamed. You can get information about particular files. All of this is done remotely using KDX Client.
  
  
• Remote Trash Emptying -- You can remotely instruct the server computer to empty its Trash / Recycle Bin. This is very useful to free up space.
  
  
• Remote Shutdown -- Remotely shutdown the server, and optionally restart or shutdown the whole computer. You can also optionally include a message to be sent to everyone before the server is shutdown.
  
  
• General Info -- See the operating system and version of the remote computer, when the server was started, its "uptime", and its clock.
