Genevate Releases Branded File Sharing Web Application, DesignFTP
FTP for your Clients without the FTP Client
Date Released: 06/20/2008
Cataumet, MA - Genevate recently launched a new web application called DesignFTP, intended for large file sharing for businesses, without having their clients download cumbersome software. The web application can be placed right on your website for maximum branding.
DesignFTP is a new service for graphic designers, web designers, web developers, architects, printers, photographers, publishers, or anyone that requires their clients to transfer large files to them. Clients of these particular businesses only know about email as a way to send files. Email is only meant to handle small files and not huge data or photo files that are 5MB or larger. Anything larger than 5MB should really be transferred via FTP.
Most clients don’t realize what FTP, File Transfer Protocol, is nor do they have an FTP program on their computer, which is a huge problem many times. DesignFTP was created for this reason. It allows a company that needs large files delivered by their client to add an upload form to their website very easily. Clients can then send the large files to them effortlessly without having to know FTP.
The client goes to the company’s website, clicks the choose file button, and chooses the file from their local machine via the file manager. Once one or more files have been chosen the client clicks the upload button and the files go right to the FTP server of the company. The company will then receive an email notification so they know about the file from their client.
There are a few more helpful features within the DesignFTP interface, like file logging and a 2 week file backup service. DesignFTP also allows you to add more than one FTP site.
The site is currently in private beta at http://www.designftp.com and you will have to sign up for an account to get an invitation code to try it out. There is also a screencast on the home page to explain how the service works.
DesignFTP will soon be going live and available to everyone with a very affordable pricing schedule.
