Staff-FTP *FREEWARE* - http://www.staff-ftp.com Staff-FTP ReadMe ------------------ License ------- FREEWARE since v2.60 ... have fun. About ----- Staff-FTP is an ftp-client which uses the common File-Transfer-Protocol to upload or download files from/to the internet. Among the standard options like up/download, query, sitemanager, browseable windows and almost every other options you will find in other ftp-clients, you will get some special options like - fxp (server-to-server-transfer) - TLS/SSL encryption - custom commands (for special ftp-servers (Raiden,Serv-U,glftpd...) - "Tree-Building" of ftp-directories - URL-Importer - FXP-Status (the first ftp-client which does this) - colours in ftp-results (if ftp-server supports it / again the only one who does this) - Ident-Server (for more secure access) - Automaticly checks if CRC is correct (sfv-file must be present) - scripts Everyone who manages ftp-accounts over the "site-command" will love this program (I started to code this program with this option in mind). Nearly all is configurable (either over a menu or by editing commands.ini-file).

If anyone is interisted in the protection let me know...seems to be very usefull hehe.
