CNET Editors' review
Limagito Lite occupies an odd position in the world of automated move/copy/delete utilities. Its many features and customization opportunities, including the ability to execute external commands, make it ideal for power users with complex file management needs. But this Lite version is limited in many ways--it supports only a single rule, for example, and does not support encryption or external scripts--making it an unlikely option for such users.
Still, as a complex advertisement for its single ($59.95) and corporate licenses (starting at $300), Limagito Lite does tantalize with visions of automating complex file-naming and management tasks across multiple locations. You start by creating a moving rule. For that rule, you may customize several settings, including source and destination, encryption and verification, and dozens of options pertaining to file handling. An additional tabbed interface offers scheduling, logging, and connectivity options, among others. The granularity of options is nearly overwhelming, but a clean UI with plenty of tool tips reduces the panic factor. The software comes with a 45-page Help file; sadly, this is located in a PDF file that you must find using the Windows Start menu. Moreover, the PDF's screenshots, while comprehensive, come from the sitewide version, and the images and features do not always match what is available in Limagito Lite.
Limago Lite offers an impressive array of features for moving, copying, and deleting files. Although a beginner user could find some use in Limago Lite, the breadth and depth of features make it better for advanced users.

"Automating the Moving of Files"
Version: Limagito FileMover Lite 7.0.0.15 Beta
Pros
If you need to move/copy/delete files locally or by ftp and you think you cannot do it with this program then look closer because you probably will discover that it is possible. Very powerful.
Cons
The only negative is the documentation is not as comprehensive as it could be BUT the developer is working on updating it.
Summary
This program does some very interesting things. The developer was helpful with the questions I had. The only negative is the documentation is not as comprehensive as it could be BUT the developer is working on updating it. Although the doc is not where I'd like to see it, the developer was gracious in clarifying areas I was confused. Clearing up my questions didn't take much, just a few sentences from the developer. Bottom line, if you have to move or copy files from a FTP site or network, this thing ROCKS !!! It is worth being patient with to learn it. I'm going box-by-box to get an understanding of all its features, think I'm going to have lots of uses other than the thing I originally needed this program for.

"Fair but limited"
Version: Limagito FileMover Lite 6.67.2
Pros
Might be able to do the things I need, but could not figure it out with the limited documentation.
Cons
Needs: better help, ability to move/copy whole subdirectories intact, ability to start working with new files only. I've already copied what I need to manually before installing the program.

"Lets save some time"
Version: Limagito FileMover Lite 6.24.0.3
Pros
Great must-have tool.
When you get a lot of files from everyhere, this tool is very helpful categorizing it automaticly.
Just create a rule wich run in a specified period. Every rule can copy, move or delete files or directories matching your criteria. Even send files to e-mail adresses is possible.
Some features:
There are several notification options.
Automatic rename parts of a file or directory name.
Execute commands on a specific action.
When there is a problem, there is a quick response by email. Some addings or bugs are quickly solved by the author.
I like this software! After setting everything up, it will spare a lot of time.
Cons
Not possible to copy (or export - import) rules. This option is in the todo list.

"Powerful ftp stuff"
Version: Limagito FileMover Lite 6.24.0.3
Pros
I've been trying and buying stuff off of SnapFiles for at least a couple years. This is my first review. This program does some very interesting things. The developer was helpful with the questions I had. Bottom line, if you have to move or copy files from a FTP site or network, this thing ROCKS !!! It is worth being patient with to learn it. I'm going box-by-box to get an understanding of all its features, think I'm going to have lots of uses other than the thing I originally needed this program for.
Cons
The only negative is the documentation is not as comprehensive as it could be BUT the developer is working on updating it. Although the doc is not where I'd like to see it, the developer was gracious in clarifying areas I was confused. Clearing up my questions didn't take much, just a few sentences from the developer.

"The Lite version truncates files at 100 records :("
Version: Limagito FileMover Lite 5.105
Pros
The "Limitations" description is not accurate - the 100 record limit is much more of a limitation than 5 concurrent threads....
-

Pros
