The document proposes a file syncing service called AnywhereSync that allows users to sync files between devices without a direct connection. It suggests expanding the functionality to sync other data types like contacts and photos between a desktop and other devices. The service would allow users to specify which devices are synced and what data is accessible publicly or privately. It analyzes using a central server to store host IP addresses and usernames to facilitate data pulls from different devices. FileZilla is proposed as an implementation for file transfers through FTP connections. The system would have advantages like minimal setup requirements and visibility into shared files.

1. AnywhereSync
Alex Chaldyshev

2. Initial Idea
-Transfering files between your phone and PC
is often cumbersome.
-Syncing your music library without the need of a
direct connection.
-Possible to sync other data with your phone:
contacts, photos,app-data, and more

3. Expanded Idea
-Why limit data sync functionality only to your
phone?
-Allow other devices to pull data from your
desktop.
-User can specify which devices are synced and
which can pull data on by-request basis.
-Allow different privilage levels that would
interface different sets of visible data. For
example: public, private, organization, family,
mobile.

4. Analysis
-Username only
required to make a host.
-To pull public data
only the host's
username is needed.
usename and password
is required to see
private data.
-A central server
would store IP of hosts
and provide it when a
user tries to pull from
the host (by entering
the host's usename)

5. Implementation: FileZilla
File transfer through ftp connection
FileZilla, an open-source, cross-platform ftp client
-Easy to Use
-FTP, SFTP, FTPS support
-IPv6 Support
-Multi-lingual support
-Drag & Drop
-Configurable transfer speeds
- Synchronized transfer speeds

6. Implementation: FileZilla

7. Advantages
There are several advantages of the proposed
system:
-Hosting and receiving data requires very little
setup and information: IP is fetched by the
software.
-Know exactly what files are shared with which
interface.

8. Chess Mentoring
-Provide tips and hints to novice chess players.
-ex: "Use your knight to make forks and trick
your oponents"
-weaker ex: "Knights can jump over peaces
to suprize oponents"
-Highlight legal moves.
-Make move suggestions.
-Interactive puzzles:
-Check-mate in 3 moves.
-Game play-throughs: entire famous games
replayed with commentary.
-crazy: move analysis
-ingame: this move leads to check-mate in 3
moves
-mistakes in prior games.
