WS_FTP v8

Originally published by "dbarker" on 2003-06-19 13:10:00Z

WS_FTP Pro – Whats New: The latest version of the venerable WS_FTP is out. It has auto-thumbnailing for image files (on both local and remote sides), the ability to edit files on the remote server in the editor of your choice (based on file extension), and a HotDrop folder to which you can drag files and have WS_FTP connect and transfer automatically.

FTP software is essentially a commodity product – the functionality and purpose is narrow by definition. At what point do you run out of bells and whitsles to add? WS_FTP does almost everything we can possibly think of for FTP and a lot that we never considered. When does a product reach complete and utter maturity?
