FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The easiest way to automate the Distribution of Corporate Data:
Lock-SAFE - File transfer encryption to any FTP server.

Howell, Michigan - June 21, 2001: Automated Programming Technologies, Inc., a Michigan based software development firm, announced today the release of Beyond FTP 2.5.0.

Beyond FTP is a secure, easy to use tool for distributing corporate data, documents and digital files over the Internet or a corporate Intranet. Several new enhancements have been added to the product that make it the professionals' choice.

Beyond FTP now interfaces to both Beyond FTP servers and traditional FTP servers giving it unparalleled flexibility. As its name implies, Beyond FTP goes way beyond simple FTP clients, allowing corporate professionals to secure, automate, schedule, control and monitor distributions and collections of important corporate data like never before.

Beyond FTP 2.5.0 incorporates many new features and enhancements. The most exciting addition is the Lock-SAFE technology. This technology allows Beyond FTP to automatically encrypt and decrypt files as they are moved to and from any FTP server. This allows secure transfers to and from public FTP servers on any platform.

Tim Townsend, Director of Engineering, describes this new feature, "Lock-SAFE can be compared to a bank. Some parts are freely accessible such as the lobby, but others are highly secure, such as the bank's vault. Similarly, Lock-SAFE allows the user to set up public directories and highly secure encrypted directories. Lock-SAFE insures that only trusted users (those with the correct decryption keys) have access to the highly secure encrypted files. The Beyond FTP Lock-SAFE technology was developed in direct response to customer requests. As usual, our customers come up with some of Beyond FTP's best features."
