SAN ANTONIO--As more businesses
move sensitive information via the Internet, GlobalSCAPE addresses
security concerns by releasing CuteFTP Pro, a powerful business-class
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) application for technology professionals.
``CuteFTP Pro provides major enhancements to the file transfer
process with a set of advanced features to meet the security needs of
today's businesses,'' states Tim Nicolaou, CEO of GlobalSCAPE. ``With
CuteFTP Pro, files are securely transferred using client/server
authentication to establish a secure SSL or SSH2 session, ensuring
that confidential information stays that way,'' explains Nicolaou.
Features include automated scheduling, sophisticated scripting, folder
synchronization and accelerated file transfers.
Businesses will significantly benefit by using CuteFTP Pro, in
conjunction with a secure FTP server, as a cost-effective alternative
to VPN, WAN, Extranet deployment and administration. ``It is no longer
necessary for companies to spend thousands of dollars for secure data
delivery solutions that incorporate the same technology that is in
CuteFTP Pro,'' explains Nicolaou.
``CuteFTP Pro gives us the best of everything -- industry-leading
file transfer functionality with state-of-the-art security,'' said
Dusty Garza, manager of community affairs and local programming for
Charter Communications.
``Multimedia production is dependent on the ability to transfer
large files. With CuteFTP Pro, we can manage all aspects of the file
transfer, including what specific files to send and when to send them.
The advanced scheduling allows us to automate routine tasks, saving us
a lot of time in a deadline-driven field.''
CuteFTP Pro's features include:
State-of-the-Art Security
CuteFTP Pro integrates the latest security standards including
Secure Shell (SSH2) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to keep users'
sensitive file transfers private. The software incorporates a complete
digital certificate management system, which includes the ability to
create digital certificates, import them from a certificate authority
such as VeriSign or Thwate and add digital certificates to the user's
trusted list. In addition, CuteFTP Pro offers Site Manager security to
protect FTP sites, usernames and passwords from unauthorized users.
Virtually Unlimited Automation
CuteFTP Pro allows users to create sophisticated scripts for
automating FTP tasks through its COM enabled Transfer Engine. Users
can manage the ``Cute Connection'' object from a batch file, event
scheduler, Java Application or other applications using scripting
languages such as Visual Basic, Perl or Java Script.
Automated Scheduling
CuteFTP Pro makes scheduling downloads, uploads, queued files or
folders, and folder synchronization easy. Users only need to ``drop''
files in the queue and click the schedule button. Users can choose
when and how often a specific transfer will occur -- down to the
second. Users can also schedule folder synchronization for automatic
and continuous mirroring of local and remote directories.
Folder Synchronization
CuteFTP Pro takes the programming out of synchronizing local and
remote folders. Its Folder Synchronization tool allows users to choose
the local folder, remote folder (including sub-folders) and the
direction of the synchronization.
Accelerated File Transfers
CuteFTP Pro can split a single transfer into multiple parts and
later recombine them upon receipt. It can also download multiple files
simultaneously as opposed to sequentially. Both of these features have
been proven to maximize the throughput for high-bandwidth users by up
to 300%.
Multi-Site Connections
CuteFTP Pro's advanced design allows users to connect to multiple
sites simultaneously. The sites appear as separate windows within the
application. Users can tile or cascade the windows and even transfer
from one remote site to another remote site.
Multi-Protocol Support
CuteFTP Pro gives users optimum connection compatibility by
supporting File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure File Transfer Protocol
(SFTP) using SSH2 and SSL, Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).
Smart Overwrite
A major enhancement feature of CuteFTP Pro is its ability to use
programmable logic to determine whether a file being transferred needs
to overwrite, resume, rename or just skip a similar file on the
destination side. Users are given the ability to configure this smart
logic to suit individual needs or simply let CuteFTP Pro decide.
Integrated HTML Editor
Whether users are editing remote HTML files or building a Web site
from scratch, CuteFTP Pro's integrated HTML editor has the tools users
need. Features include: the ability to color code the HTML, multiple
document find and replace, helpful tag tips, spell check and the
ability to save directly to the remote server, to name a few.
Availability and Pricing
Users can download a free 30-day trial version of CuteFTP Pro at

only $59.95, which includes free program updates and technical support
