Ipswitch, Inc., developer of the most widely deployed file transfer products worldwide, today announced the release of Ipswitch WS_FTP Home. Ipswitch WS_FTP Home offers Ipswitch"s business-class file transfer technology to everyday users with a completely redesigned interface and streamlined functionality that make sharing digital images and video, transferring music files and publishing personal Web sites and blogs easier than ever.
Traditionally, home users have opted to share files through e-mail, instant messaging or other peer-to-peer applications, which consume large amounts of computing resources and frequently break down during bulky data transfers. Though it is a much more efficient option, file transfer technology has not typically been a first choice primarily due to its technical look and feel. Yet most users have access to FTP servers to enable more efficient sharing via their dial-up and/or broadband Internet service provider accounts.
