This is the software publisher’s description.

While technology can take us into outer space, perhaps its greatest benefit is that it enables us to stay at home. From our homes, we can create and operate businesses, telecommute and/or collaborate with colleagues and offices located around the world. We can also simply share photos, music, and videos with friends and family. All we need are the right tools.

When it comes to file transfer tools, too often home users have had to choose between freeware file transfer utilities with limited functionality or security and little or no support – and enterprise solutions that are too expensive, too heavy, and too complex.

Until now. We offer two versions of our award-winning file transfer software that fit the needs, skills, and budgets of home users: WS_FTP Professional and WS_FTP Home. Cost-effective and intuitive, they offer broad functionality and deliver the fastest transfer speeds on the market. It’s no wonder that Ipswitch’s WS_FTP file transfer clients are used and trusted by more than 40 million people around the world, more than any other file transfer client.

Which one you choose will depend on your security, automation, and connectivity needs. Though faster, more secure, and more reliable than freeware, WS_FTP won’t bust your budget.

The latest WS_FTP Home 12 now ships with customisable (skinned) user-interface, improved performance, Windows 2008 Server support, better SSL support and much more.
