FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vista releases new FTP Program with overkill

If you need permanent access to remote servers, are always on the road, work at various business locations, are on a business trip or vacation in some distant location where you only have access to a computer with a small CPU, hard drive and limited RAM, and are forced to count every kilobyte and minute online, hate having to avoid cluttering the owner's system registry with your own data, are used to Norton Commander, turned off by dwarfs and banners hopping all over your screen, when all you really need to do is transfer a few files - then this program is a must for you! 

While MS Windows contains a built-in FTP client system, it has failed to gain popularity and can only run in command line mode.  All of the above tasks AND MORE! can now be performed by a special application called FTP Clients, which Vista has designed to be compatible with virtually all types of server software, including Proxy, Firewall, Sockets 4, 4.5 and 5.

FTP server panels with  a dozen pre-set FTP servers.  It's easy as pie to establish a connection.  All you have to do is select the server you want on the list and push the Connect button. Pre-configuring a list of most frequently accessed servers will make your life even easier. The most frequent connections  can be saved and subsequently entered by single-clicking the mouse. 

The program occupies far less space on hard drives and RAM than other similar paid programs.  It also allows you to delete, rename and copy files, create and delete directories in the FTP server or work in command line mode. A session log file is also availa
