PirateChest is a file sharing application written in PHP. It helps you share files from your computer making it serve to 100 clients at the same time via Wi-Fi. These clients can download upload, chat with you and other clients in real-time.
PirateChest is totally independent of the internet thereby making it secure for any activity.
I assume you already have Wamp Server on your computer and PHP is an enviromental variable.

**Note:: For large files upload, edit php.ini as follows(for 513MB max upload) upload_max_filesize = 513M post_max_size = 513M memory_limit = 512M
