Rad Inks Asks, How Secure is Your File Transfer Program?
Rad Inks has announced version 2.01 of the Rad SFTP Applet. With the File Transfer Protocol all the data and commands are transferred between the client and the server in plain text. Therefore with each FTP connection the user name and password will be transmitted without any encryption. Security conscious webmasters and organizations are moving away from FTP and embracing the more secure SFTP system.
(PRWEB) May 23, 2007 -- Rad Inks has announced version 2.01 of the Rad SFTP Applet -- a replacement for desktop FTP and Secure FTP clients. With the applet installed on an intranet, all the employees of the organization can make use of that single installation to manage files on remote servers leading to significant savings.
The Rad Inks Secure FTP client makes use of the SSH FTP protocol, which despite the similarity in name with the File Transfer Protocol is a much more secure system. With FTP all the data and commands are transferred between the client and the server in plain text. Therefore with each FTP connection the user name and password will be transmitted without any encryption. Security conscious webmasters and organizations are moving away from FTP and embracing the more secure SFTP where all the commands and data are encrypted before being transmission.
Because the Rad SFTP applet runs in the context of the web browser, anyone using the system does not need to install any software on his own computer. Since the applet is light weight it starts up almost instantly and can rival the start up speed of a desktop client.
It's low in resource consumption and has all the features commonly found on desktop SFTP and FTP clients. These factors make it a suitable replacement for desktop file transfer programs. Its user interface is the familiar two table layout common with file management software. As a result a user does not need to make any adjustment when switching over to this Secure software.
Rad Inks first released the Rad SFTP applet in 2003 and at the time the product was featured on the official Java website and received high ratings from many software reviewers. Since then Rad Inks has made a series of other ground breaking products and many of them are being used on numerous Fortune 500 companies.
