We apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. Emails continued to be answered during this period.

By it’s appearance the Thin FTP client looks similar to the File Transfer Program that sits on your desktop. But appearances are deceptive, it is an applet that is designed to be integrated into web applications. The goal is to provide users of such web application a convenient and familiar interface for file management.

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 are pleased to announce the availability of new version of Thin File Putter (2.0 beta) with enhanced features and improved ease of installation. Thin File Putter is a file upload that makes use of the HTTP Put method to upload files to a webserver.

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.
