World's Top Selling FTP Client Ready For The Far East

SAN ANTONIO, TX. - GlobalScape Inc. and act2 Inc. announce their agreement for distribution of the popular File Transfer Protocol utility, CuteFTP, into Japan.

CuteFTP is a Windows-based Internet application that allows novice users to utilize the capabilities of FTP without having to know all of the protocol itself. It simplifies FTP by offering a user-friendly, graphical interface instead of the cumbersome and complex command-line utility. These features have helped CuteFTP to become one of the most popular consumer FTP clients in the world.

"Our distribution agreement with act2 represents a significant step in expanding our marketing efforts into Japan," said Sandra Poole-Christal, President of GlobalScape. "The rapid growth of Internet users and their increasing demand for powerful, yet easy-to-use software made this a natural expansion for CuteFTP, well known for its superb functionality and user-friendly graphical interface."
