SendFile.NET/GetFile.NET - Universal, secure, high speed file transfer with the simplicity of a browser interface. The first complete JAVA ftp applet for use with browsers!

SendFile.NET, Inc. has installed over 500 site licenses of the new Browser-based Java ftp client. Unlike other Browser-based file transfer products, SendFile.NET supports true ftp (file transfer protocol) and does NOT require ANY software components to reside on the client's desktop! Now, in its second release, SendFile.NET supports a universal sendfile/getfile ftp architecture which virtualizes ftp and allows any subscriber to send files to any internet user, even if the recipient doesn’t have an ftp server!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS :

Simple as 1-2-3 to send files! After clicking on your www.SendFile.NET account URL

1) Enter a recipient’s email address into the destination address.

2) attach files to any message (or form) and

3) click Send.

Even more simple to receive files!

1) The recipient receives an email notification with a password that they have files waiting on www.sendfile.NET.

2) They navigate to www.sendfile.NET by clicking on the URL in the notification email, and

3) They enter their password and an inbox appears with their files to download.

KEY FEATURES OF SendFile.NET and GetFile.NET:

• SendFile.NET virtualizes ftp services and enables universal access. Users don’t need to know ftp settings information to send files and they don’t need to download client software - if they have a current browser and an email address they can use SendFile.NET/GetFile.NET! Also, participating sponsor FTP servers can be located anywhere on the Internet.
• SendFile.NET offers advanced security. Our encrypted ftp site key technology enables ftp to function with the security of email. Users never view ftp directories directly. Rather, they access files via handles served from the SendFile.NET database.
• SendFile.NET offers the reliability and speed of TRUE ftp, unlike other browser file transfers which use slow and unreliable browser print/upload functions.
• SendFile.NET supports multiple html forms. You can create order forms, job tickets, indexing forms, etc.
• SendFile.NET has built-in Beehive "On-the-Fly" streaming compression for 5-30x compression ratios.
• SendFile.NET files can be automatically processed by the SendFile FTP Manager. Our FTP Manager agent can automate many file and forms processing tasks, (sending receipts, notifications, printing forms, moving and deleting files, decoding and decompressing files, exporting forms data, and more).
• SendFile.NET has an Inbox and Outbox for queueing and reviewing jobs.

APPLICATIONS :
SendFile.NET is widely used in 2 applications:

1) Printing, Prepress and Newspaper Applications - SendFile.NET is the perfect choice for sites that have customers who need to send forms and files for processing, but the customers don’t want to download our drag and drop FTP Forms desktop client. Jobs coming in from SendFile.NET are handled automatically by the FTP Manager (the same way as jobs coming from our Beehive ftp forms desktop client).

2) Specialty e-commerce and Digital Asset Management Applications - Many web application developers who need to integrate a reliable file transfer product have chosen SendFile.NET. These vendors now have an alternative to the unreliable browser print/upload functions. The SendFile.NET status window removes any uncertainty the customer has about file transfer progress.

The SendFile.NET Java applet contains our On-the-Fly streaming compression technology for ftp. On-The-Fly compression technology is available with all our ftp clients - Beehive FTP Forms for Macintosh and Windows and now SendFile.NET. On-the-Fly reduces file transfer time as much a 96%!
