Introduction to 3D-FTP
Top  Next

3D-FTP is an FTP Client software application (FTP = File Transfer Protocol) used to transfer files between your computer and FTP Servers. In addition to standard FTP protocol, 3D-FTP also fully supports secure connections to FTPS and SFTP servers over SSH protocol. FTP, and its secure variants FTPS and SFTP, are commonly used for various file transfer tasks, and 3D-FTP is the perfect solution for:

·Publishing web sites  
·Uploading web page HTML and picture files to the web server  
·Editing files directly on the remote server  
·Uploading images to auction sites such as eBay  
·Downloading game demos and mp3 music files  
·Downloading free programs and DVD iso images  
·Performing remote server backups  
·Downloading log files  


Accelerated File Transfers

The 3D-FTP uses the MultiWire™ multi-threaded transfer engine to take full advantage of broadband Internet connections. This means that 3D-FTP automatically makes multiple, simultaneous connections to the FTP Server to speed up file transfers. 3D-FTP also allows you to transfer files in the background, while continuing work with other file management tasks.

Secure File Transfers using FTPS and SFTP

3D-FTP can secure and encrypt all your private connection login information and transferred file data by using secure FTPS (also called FTP/S and FTP/SSL) and FTPS protocols. These protocols ensure that all your private data is encrypted while being transferred over internet.


Automatic Resume in Case of Transfer Failure

If the file transfer is interrupted for any reason, 3D-FTP resumes the transfer in exact point of failure. So if internet connection fails in middle of the transfer, you do not need to start all over, but 3D-FTP automatically continues from point of interruption.
