JFTP is a graphical FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client software for transferring files from one computer to another over TCP/IP networks such as Internet.
JFTP allows you to connect to every ftp server, to transfer files between multiple operating systems
JFTP integrates the most widely used and widely accepted security mechanism, SSL (Secured Sockets Layer), to securely transfer your business critical and sensitive data.
JFTP is written entirely in JavaTM, meaning, it can run on a wide variety of platforms such as Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, OS/2, UNIX or any other platform with a compatible JVM (Java Virtual Machine).
Here are some key features of "JFTP2":
JFTP integrates the most widely used and widely accepted security mechanism, SSL (Secured Sockets Layer), to securely transfer your business critical and sensitive data.
Support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0
Supports several cryptographic algorithms such as RSA, RC4, DES, Triple DES, Diffie-Hellman and DSA
Support for both Explicit and Implicit SSL connections
Option of using SSL if it is supported by the FTP server
File filters give you the ability to decide what all files may be listed, uploaded, downloaded or deleted with in JFTP. You can set up either inclusion or exclusion filters on local and/or remote files based on a variety of criteria such as:
File name pattern using regular expressions
Modification date of the files
Attributes of the files (if a file is hidden or not)
Download files and/or directories. Directories will be processed recursively
Download As option to download a single file or directory (and its contents) as a different name
Download and Unzip option to automatically unzip downloaded zip files
Upload files and/or directories. Directories will be processed recursively
Upload As option to upload a single file or directory (and its contents) as a different name
Zip and Upload option to zip one or more files and/or directories and upload the resulting zip file
Filtered transfers
JFTP allows you to work with multiple FTP sites simultaneously. Each session will create a new Tab making it easy to switch between sessions.
Well thought-out design allows you to connect to your FTP site quickly and easily. You can configure both simple and advanced connection parameters, all through one easy-to-use connection dialog.
JFTP allows you to specify various advanced connection parameters such as:
Whether to use plain FTP connection or secured FTP connection
Ability to provide an "Account" name for login. Most FTP servers just use user name and password for login, but, some require account name to be specified for login.
Option of encrypting just the command channel to securely transmit the password over the network
Specify initial local and remote working directories to set, upon a successful login
Support for both passive (default) and active data transfers
Allows you to execute raw FTP commands (standard or custom) soon after log in
JFTP gives you the ability to connect through proxy servers and firewalls.
Supports SOCKS proxy (both version 4 and version 5)
Automatic detection of SOCKS version
Supports SOCKS authentication
JFTP comes with a built-in certificate manager to manage all your trusted certificates. Certificates are used to establish secured FTP connections. With JFTP's certificate manger, you can -
Import certificates in to your trusted certificates database
View details of a certificate
Delete certificates from your trusted certificates database
JFTP allows you to store the connection parameters for the FTP sites that you frequently work with. With JFTP, connecting to your favorite FTP site is just one click away! In addition, for added security, JFTP stores all your favorite site definitions in encrypted format.
