Press Release Summary = The new release of FastTrackFTP, which is aimed at both the
professional and home user, includes several significant improvements over basic ftp
that are devoted to security and safety of confidential data, encryption and
checksum file transfer.

Press Release Body = (New York, USA) - One of the earliest file transfer protocols
developed for the Internet - ftp - is still one of the simplest, most convenient and
fastest methods of exchanging files between clients and servers. But with the growth
of the World Wide Web and broadband networks, there has been increased demand for
more secure protocols, meaning that the advantages of ftp are often lost. Now a
small but rapidly growing company is determined to make it not only more secure, but
more reliable and easier to use.

Until now, highly secure high-speed file exchange protocols have been available
primarily to Internet service providers (ISPs), since for most users they are
generally too costly and difficult to configure and use. FastTrackSoft has devoted
significant development resources to enhancing the security of ftp while bundling in
a range of enhanced protocols and functions with a highly usable, drag-and-drop user
interface to make secure file transfer possible for a broader market.

\"I don\'t think ftp is destined for extinction,\" says Michael Boriskin,
vice-president of FastTrackSoft. \"On the contrary: ftp is a great protocol for file
transfer. By improving its functionality and designing a better interface than
you\'ll find in other ftp clients today, you can ensure that ftp will continue to
have a robust future.\" The new release of FastTrackFTP ($39.95), which is aimed at
both the professional and home user, includes several significant improvements over
basic ftp that are devoted to security and safety of confidential data, encryption
and checksum file transfer.

FastTrackFTP provides full support for Shell Access, FTPS (File Transfer Protocol
using SSL), SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) and other protocols, without
requiring additional installation or a connection to external libraries. Thus, all
data traffic is encrypted so that login information cannot be intercepted.
FastTrackFTP includes all current security standards, such as SSL/TLS, SSL2, SSL3,
SSH, SSH2, PGP, and keyword encryption. It supports multithreading data transfer,
packet and file synchronization, scripting, and 128-256 bit encryption.
