Captain FTP sets the mark with new technology advances, and allows local network FTP users to share files directly between each other. As FTP is considered to be the most effective way to distribute files over the Internet, why not take it further and allow users to connect each other?
This requires a new approach, with the address book divided into separate parts, which resulted in the creation of the Public Address Book consisting of local Network users, Private FTP entries, and Public FTP entries that can be shared to share files, but only with users authorized and approved by the host. This is not a Peer to Peer methodology, as only authorized local network users, and specified (authorized) WAN users may be available for you to connect to, or for them to connect to you.
This innovative solution also requires a new interface to facilitate FTP session management, which has led to the development of the tabbed interface supporting multiple FTP connections, allowing users to open multiple Tabs (each tab a separate FTP session) in a single browser window, or both browser windows (left and right). It is even possible to transfer between tabs in the same window by drag'n'drop.
Captain FTP lets you manage transfers by prioritizing which files to transfer first, accelerate file transfers using segmented download, and view the status, and progress of all transfers. Security is at the top of most users' priorities, and Captain FTP has introduced an extra layer of security with Key Authentication for Secure FTP transfers.
