And yet another beta of yet another FTP client.

Visicom media released version 2 (beta) of their FTP client AceFTP. I used AceFTP 1 for a while and was quite taken by it. AceFTP allows you to open several sessions with several servers and initiate multiple simultaneous transfers. The integrated viewer, cached directories and handling of interrupted file transfer features save you precious time. The only drawback was its site manager or rather its lack of a site manager really. Version 2 has a great site manager, a cool interface with loads of options and yet it remains simple and easy to use.

Oh and before I forget ... yes it has an import function so you can import all your sites from AceFTP 1 :)

I recieved this via email on January 19th from Ipswitch WS_FTP Pro 7.0 Beta 3 is out for a public beta test

WS_FTP Pro supports a newer interface, but its not much different from the one we have been used to since WS_FTP 4.x versions, improved Host's support and numerous updates have kept this client a clear winner above the rest as far as simplicity goes for Windows FTP clients. The only feature --greatly missed is the ability to import 6.x ini files, so if you have alot of sites stored of which you no longer remember the passwords too you will find it difficult to say the least in upgrading to 7.0 apart from that, it looks tidy and is easy to configure.

CuteFTP Pro is a new business class FTP client completely redesigned from the ground up. It contains the proven features found in our award-winning CuteFTP and many new additions such as a completely redesigned interface, multi-threaded transfers, simultaneous site connections, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections, and more! The result is a more powerful easy-to-use, well-designed application. Remember that it is a beta and is subject to unforeseen bugs that may not cooperate with your computer.

All CuteFTP Pro betas are 30-day trials. We must test all portions of the program including "Reminder Messages" and software expiration. You are in no way obligated to purchase CuteFTP Pro in order to beta test. We will do our best to release new betas that will "reset" your trials before the 30-day period. However, if you would like to purchase CuteFTP Pro, the system is in place.

Some Features

File Transfer enhancements make transferring files faster and easier than ever before. We have added a "Go-To" feature that allows you to quickly and easily switch to a different directory within the file transfer UI, a "Tag" feature that allows you to quickly select files for inclusion in a file transfer, and other noticeable performance improvements that make it even easier to navigate the file transfer process.
pcAnywhere Packager - This revolutionary new feature can be used to:
Create customized installation sets. With custom installation sets, one can choose to install only those features of the product that you intend to use (reducing the install size),
Define which configuration settings are read only, read/write, or completely hidden from the end user,
Define the install panels seen by the end-user,
Generate an MSI install file base on these selections for deployment to end-users.

We are very pleased to announce the release of the first Beta of pcAnywhere 10.0. This release continues to deliver the #1remote control solution for IT Managers, Helpdesk personnel and remote workers. Improved security, increased customizability, smaller footprint, optimized performance and enhanced file transfer capabilities, make pcAnywhere 10.0 the most powerful and secure product for remote control.
