Not FTP

Rad Inks, has announced the release of a new software that bridges the gap between FTP and web based file management systems. Applications that provide web interfaces for upload and downloading files have generally struggled to compete with FTP clients in terms of speed and ease of use. The Rad File Manager has the appearence and functionality of a FTP client while being a web application that runs in your browser.

(PRWEB) November 23, 2004 -- CRM systems, image galleries, studio web sites need to handle hundreds of thousands of files uploaded by thousands of different users. Information about each file needs to be stored in a database for further processing. The nature of the File Transfer Protocol and the difficulty in sharing session data between FTP and web servers makes FTP impractical for use in many web applications.

The Rad File Manager can upload and download gigabytes of through an HTTP connection and create a records for each file in a database, where it can be readily accessed by other applications or components. Being an HTTP client, Rad File Manager is more likely to work behind corporate firewalls than an FTP or SFTP client.

Rad Inks (Private) Ltd is an innovative software company. Rad Inks first achieved fame in August 2003 with the release of their Secure FTP applet, a product that was featured on the official java website. The Secure FTP applet was followed up by a drag and drop file uploader. The company has made full use of the knowledge and feedback gathered from these and other products in builing the Rad File Manager.

The file manager and other software by Rad Inks can be downloaded from the company's website at http://www.radinks.com/
