New Features in WS_FTP Home 2007

User Experience and Efficiency
• Enhanced Thumbnails let you view and resize pictures and graphics as thumbnails on your computer or remote sites.
• You can customize the Send To options on the Shortcut menu by adding a HotDrop (shortcut) to Windows Explorer or the local WS_FTP Send To menu. HotDrops let you send files on your local computer to a remote site quickly and easily.
• New custom skins are available to change the look-and-feel of your FTP client.

Search
• Local Search lets you use the Windows® desktop search tool to search for local files from within the FTP client. Search results can then be transferred to remote server easily with a simple drag-n-drop or with HotDrop options on the shortcut (right-click) menu.
• Enhanced file content comparison feature compares files between sites using file integrity checking algorithms (CRC32 and MD5). Files transfer only when they are not current in the source and target locations.

Utilities Included

Upload Wizard
The Upload Wizard provides a simple interface for uploading files.
It can be invoked via integration with Windows Explorer (just right click on file(s) or folder(s) and select upload using the WS_FTP Upload Wizard!)
You can launch the Upload Wizard as a stand-alone application via the shortcut provided in the WS_FTP Home program group.

Browser Integration Utility
Browser Integration allows you to use WS_FTP Home to download files from a web browser. With this feature, if you select a download file in your web browser (provided the download file has an FTP URL), the download will be processed by WS_FTP Home.
