Robo-FTP 3.5

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Sick of FTP automation that doesn't do what you want? Maybe it's time to take control. The multitalented RoboFTP not only lets you manually transfer files, it also allows you to write your own automation scripts. It's easier than it sounds, partly because of the program's useful step-by-step tutorial, which launches after installation. RoboFTP supports SSH, SSL, and PGP encryption, making your connections and transfers much more secure. It can be installed as an NT service, and in a nice touch, it also includes a manual FTP applet for quick transfers. You edit scripts with a text editor or the powerful code editor, which also helps generate scripts. RoboFTP lacks an integrated scripting environment, but it still has broad appeal. The tutorial makes it accessible to ambitious novices, and professionals will appreciate its security and flexibility.
