Even though FTP is one of the most widely used protocols used for file transfer and management it’s totally lacking in security. SFTP on the other hand is a very secure protocol which is a sub system of SSH. Though the abbreviations are similar the two protocols are very different in nature.

The Thin SFTP client is an applet that is designed to be easily integrated into web applications. The goal is to provide users of your web site a secure, convenient and familiar form of file management. The Thin FTP applet is a feature rich software and includes all the functionality you find in your desktop FTP client, or our own Thin FTP Applet. Some of these features include the ability to upload and download entire directories trees in a single click, rename files and change permissions.

The new version of the applet (1.03) aims to fix a minor bug in previous versions related to connection pooling. When the user hits the disconnect button, the connection was being added to the pool instead of being closed immediately. It would be removed from the pool on timeout or when the user closes the applet itself (which is what most users do after disconnecting). However if the user would immediately connect to another server instead of closing the applet, the previous connection would remain idle until it timed out. This issue has been addressed in the new release.
