Resume an interrupted upload

If the file transfer is interrupted for whatever reason the applet can now resume the upload from where it was left off. This feature also makes it possible for a user to pause an ongoing upload and restart it later at a more convenient time

Improved compatibility with a wide range of FTP Servers.

Thin FTP Upload has always been compatible with a most popular FTP servers. With version two, we have made further improvements and the applet is now more tolerant of FTP servers that do not quite follow the standards.

A new progress monitor

Version one was equipped with two different progress monitors to help you keep track of the file upload. Now a third progress monitor (which is designed to be compact and takes up very little screen space) has been added.

Control over progress monitor positioning

In previous versions, the progress monitor made it’s appearance as a popup at the top left hand edge of the screen. You can now place the progress monitor at one of the four edges of the screen or in the center. If we need even greater control you can use x,y co-ordinates for absolute positioning. As with the previous version the user can still move it from the default location by simply dragging it across the screen

All Thin FTP Upload version 1 license holders can download the update free of charge.

All the members of the family were provided with a new progress monitor bringing the number of available progress monitors to three in total. You can find them in this new release too. Also included is the ability to control the positioning of the progress monitors through the monitor.position configuration directive.

When we released Thin Slice Upload 2.0B we added the ability to automatically resume an interrupted transfer (the ability to resume an HTTP upload has always been available but the user had to do it manually). Naturally this feature has made it’s way to the Enterprise Edition as well along with ablity to resume an interrupted FTP upload ( which introduced in Thin FTP Upload and Thin Image Upload 2.0B). The other major feature addition to Thin Image Upload 2.0 was the ability to watermark and image at the client side prior upload.

This is the last of the beta releases and the gold release of the entire Thin File Upload Family will be available for download through the website shortly.

How many times an interrupted upload can be retried is something for you to decide. You can also make the applet wait a certain number of seconds before each retry. Another improvement in the new version is ease of configuration. While the thinupload.properties file from previous versions has been preserved, you can configure the applet by directly embedding parameters into the HTML of the web page that holds it as well.

Thin Slice Upload is popular among PHP users because default installations of PHP can only handle uploads of upto 2MB. Thin Slice Upload bypasses the limits imposed through the php.ini file to upload very large files. Though perl users are unlikely to be hampered by such arbitrarily limits, web server or proxy server settings may effect their ability to process a large upload with an HTML form. Thin Slice Upload can be used in such a situation for successful large file uploads with perl.

So how does Thin Slice Upload work? To answer that we first need to answer the question “how does an HTML form based file upload work?” It works by combining all the files together into a single entity known as a ‘multipart message’. A connection is made to the web server and this multipart message is posted to the webserver where it’s decoded and the files are separated. Thin Slice Upload does the exact opposite, instead of combining the files into a single post, it makes multiple posts with each post containing a fragment of a file.

At the server side a script gathers the fragments posted to it by the server and reassembles the files. The download able package includes both a perl script and a PHP script. Server side handlers in built with other technologies are also available.

The Thin FTP applet is a feature rich software and includes many of the functionality you find in your desktop FTP client. You can upload and download entire directories trees in a single click and other features that expect to find in a File Transfer Program such as directory management, changing file permissions etc are all included.

In this new version we make two improvements, the first being improved compatibility with FTP servers on OS X and Netware as well as pureftpd on Linux. We have made a slight change to the behavior of the professional edition. With the professional edition you can automate the login process. However if the user clicked the disconnect button and then attempted to reconnect, the applet prompted him to enter the password instead of automatically logging in. With this version onwards, the applet will automatically reconnect.

As with all our products, a free download is available. With the FTP applet, the free version is completely unrestricted and you can use it for non commercial purposes. When you download this free version you will find a coupon code that would entitle you to a 25% discount if you place your order before the 31st of December.

We will be happy to answer any questions you might have regarding installing or using the evaluation versions. Once you have completed your testing, switching to the full version is can be finished in seconds flat.

One of the new additions is a ‘compact’ progress monitor, which means three different progress monitors are now available. That’s not all, the new version also gives you the opportunity to control the monitor’s position as well. In previous versions the progress monitor would appear at the top left hand corner of the screen. That remains the default location for it. However you can use the ‘monitor.position’ setting to move it to the bottom right, bottom left top left.

The PUT method is a counterpart of the more commonly used GET and POST methods of the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol that is tailor made for file uploads. One of the major advantage with PUT is that files can be written to disk while the data is being streamed. This is in stark contrast to a more conventional POST where the files data cannot be read until all the data has been received.

All popular server side scripting/programming languages can be used to process files that have been ‘Put’ on the server. We provide defaults scripts for perl and PHP and provide samples for other languages on request. These scripts can be edited to change the appearance and behavior of the file uploader. For the new version we have improved the perl code.

Last but not least, we have made significant improvements to the way in which the applet can be configured. The new version allows you to directly embed the configuration data into the HTML of the web page that contains the applet instead of in the configuration file.

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.

Colombo, Sri Lanka (PRWEB) October 20, 2006 — Thin File (Pvt) Ltd., a developer of file transfer software, is pleased to announce a new version of Thin Image Upload (http://upload.thinfile.com), an image upload applet used by thousands of companies and webmasters.

With film cameras giving way to digital cameras more and more people are uploading their photographs to online photo sharing sites. Many of these sites ask their visitors to use basic HTML form to upload their files.

While a traditional HTML form does not provide any feedback to the user on transfer speeds, Thin Image Upload has two different progress monitors. The old way allows users to upload only a hand full of files at once. However, with Thin Image Upload users can drag, drop and upload thousands of files in a single transfer.

Webmasters use the product to provide an enhanced user experience for visitors, while saving time and money. The new version of Thin Image Upload includes several improvements over the previous version resulting in more time and money saved and an elevated user encounter.

One of the major advantages that a web site owner has with Thin Image Upload is that photos can be resized before transfer, resulting in a significant reduction in bandwidth usage. Bandwidth consumption can be reduced further by using Thin Image Upload’s client side filtering feature to ensure that unwanted file types are not included. The new release adds the ability to add a watermark to the photo as well.

The Thin Image Upload applet is compatible with all popular browsers such as: Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, Safari and Opera on Windows (including Vista), Linux and OS X. It is also compatible with popular server side technologies such as PHP, Java, Perl and .NET.

Thin File (Private) Limited is an innovative software company located in Sri Lanka. Their range of file upload tools is used by organizations such as Shell and NASA. Free downloads are available for all of their products at http://upload.thinfile.com.
