Product Description:

KDX is a "BBS"-style (Bulletin Board System) encrypted internet communications system that provides file transfer, chat, messaging, news, trackers etc. It uses strong encryption to protect your communications for security and privacy. It is very useful for groups that need to collaborate on a project via the internet. It uses a client/server model. IMPORTANT: This is a BETA (work in progress) version, so not everything is finished.

NOTE: The appearance of KDX is completely customizable. For more information, see:

What's new in this version:

Haxial RemoteAdminTool has now been integrated into KDX, and will no longer be offered as a separate product. Anyone who purchased RAT receives a free upgrade to KDX. See following for a list of the integrated features.
View a list of the processes which are running on the server computer using Administration -> Process Monitor. Can also exit/terminate/restart processes.
Remote launching of programs on the server computer. Navigate to the file or alias/shortcut of your choice, then use the "Launch Program" command in the context menu. "Can Launch Programs" access is required.
Remote emptying of the Trash / Recycle Bin at the server using Administration -> Empty Trash. WARNING: After upgrading your server, the "Can Empty Trash" access privilege may be set incorrectly -- check it!
Administration -> "Get Server Info" now shows extra info for the admin of the server -- the operating system version, the time the server was started, how long it has been running, etc.
Remotely view and control the display of the server computer using Administration -> View Display. You can also allow multiple people to view the display simultaneously (frex while you demonstrate something).
You can now remotely instruct a running KDX Server to upgrade itself to a new version! See Administration -> Upgrade Server Software. Like a dishonored Samurai, the old version of KDX Server will kill itself, and the new version of your choice will take its place, all without you having to mess around with other programs. To use this feature, you must have the "Can Shutdown Server" access privilege (which makes sense, since this feature causes the server program to be shutdown, then replaced/upgraded and restarted) as well as the "Can Launch Programs" privilege.
SuperSpeedySwitcher�: Hit F1 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.
When creating a new settings file, automatically add a Haxial User Group item to the Address Book.
Can now remove multiple items at once from the File Transfers window by using shift/control/command + click to select multiple items.
Improved display of failed logins in the Server History (now it says "Login Failed" instead of just "Disconnected").
The command for creating aliases/shortcuts ("Alias into") is now implemented. This includes security features such as preventing creation of aliases to dropboxes (unless you have the appropriate access privileges).
Added payment reminders the same as other 1.0+ Haxial programs. Please support the further development of KDX by purchasing a license. As you can see by the full version history on the website, an enormous amount of effort has gone into creating KDX. Hopefully enough people will appreciate this effort and purchase a license for KDX to help fund further development.
The feature to prevent users from modifying accounts to have more access than themselves had a bug where you couldn't modify an account if it had "Has Custom Base Folder" and you didn't, even if you had "Can See All Bases". Fixed.
The About window stats were not updating for folder uploads. Fixed.
Fixed problems with Post Only newsgroups.
Fixed bug where if you had Connection Monitor open and auto-refreshing and your internet access temporarily lagged, when it later unlagged, you could be banned for flooding.
Prevent Connection Monitor from auto-refreshing when the window is minimized.
When cataloging, attempt to detect alias/shortcut loops and display an error message, rather than cataloging endlessly.
MS Windows: Fixed bug where file searching didn't work if the base folder for the user was a shortcut.
MacOS X: Fixed bug where the upload file chooser showed the volume name twice.
Misc minor bug fixes.

Any chance we can get an updated version with full Leopard support ?
TIA ;)

KDX 1.6 is horrible - Version: 1.600, 9/4/2007 02:27PM PST

What a horrible pos this is. First it asks me to allow it to configure the settings to conform with my router. It fails and tells me to do this myself. I cannot do this as I can't locate the preferences/settings/options anywhere. Is this a hidden feature??
It won't connect to the kdx server, much less anywhere else. This is a horribly designed interface that wants to immitate Hotline but is even worse. Frankly I can't see how anyone can possibly see any use in this poorly designed app. I'm sticking to HL and Wired. Screw this.

Under development? - Version: 1.600, 10/8/2006 02:43PM PST

Is this software even under development anymore? It hasn't been updated in 2 years...

It'd be nice to at least see a Universal build if it's going to stay payware.
