One gem of the Internet most don't know about is the Fling FTP client. No, the Fling FTP client isn't at all related to a short termed relationship or even the act of hurling something- it's a revolutionary FTP client that is being released as freeware. This completely free software, as most will see, can even compete with the paid competitors.
The creators of Fling FTP wanted to make a robust program that could be used on the go, and with little extras that would hinder the speed of the program. They successfully came up with a solution that binded itself to the Windows Explorer to give fast access to FTP commands. In effect, one only has to right click a file and send it to its destination- compare that to starting up a program and reading a manual just to send a file!
Fling takes security topics into mind quite carefully. Those who have been around since the dawn of the Internet will remember that FTP clients used to use passwords that were unencrypted- and anyone over a network could simply steal the password with ease. Fling remedies this by using SSL- a secure connection that encrypts such confidential credentials.
Transferring files over a local area network isn't something that the average FTP user is going to do. But when someone does indeed need to transfer files over a long term basis, or just wants an easier means of doing so, Fling can be used to ensure that the process is as painless as possible.
The FTP client is going to be ready for Windows systems back from Windows 98 up until Windows Vista. The Vista operating system in particular was a threat to the Fling client, since Vista has new architecture to work with. Thankfully the crew at Fling FTP made all of the necessary additions and improvements to keep the free software open for Vista users too.
Downloads for the Fling cilent will come as an EXE or a ZIP. Since the program is only for Windows, users won't have to worry about other file types that other operating systems use such as the TAR extension. Those on a slow connection should download the ZIP file, while those who don't have a ZIP archival tool should go for the EXE counterpart.
Closing Comments
It's hard to pass up a free offer, and as most can see, Fling is something that most would even pay for. But thankfully there is indeed a movement being made in the freeware community, and anyone with an Internet connection can get this gem absolutely free. And as we have seen, it doesn't look like support for the application is going away anytime soon!
