Title: Runtime Client Post by: mimic on October 16, 2009, 04:47:01 AM Hello,
I like yummyFTP very much and use it all the time. Congratulations to this great piece of software. In day-to-day work I have often the situation, that customers want to send me a large file. On one hand I don't like to get e-mails with large files attached (that is stupid), on the other side, e-mail accounts are often limited for bandwidth reason. What I can understand. So I looked for a solution to give my customers an "easy" access to an FTP-Share on my server. In most cases it is important that the way, they transfer data to my FTP-Account, is seamless and easy integrated into their desktop environment. So the best way would be, that I could create a runtime app from yummyFTP for a certain ftp-account, with minimal menus and functions - and send it them for use on their platform. If this runtime-client would be able to run on mac's as well as on windows, this would be a killer-app. All solutions I know, Interarchie Alias, cPanel Secure Webdisk, .mac Account, etc. are in any way restricted and I don't want to bother my clients with buying software, just to sending me a big file. Do you think, this would be possible to integrate into yummyFTP one time? I would pay for a master - solution with this feature a much higher price than for a standard FTP-Client.

WAY cool feature! Title: Re: Runtime Client Post by: spacific on October 16, 2009, 09:48:40 PM No, mimic wants it to run on Windows as well as Macs. Something I requested some time ago, but that's a big ask I suppose ... ! It would certainly be a fantastic solution, as expecting all one's clients to have Macs is just not reasonable.

Any Windows programmers out there who might be interested in some kind of partnership/deal? A quick Google reveals plenty of example FTP and SFTP client code for Windows, so it would probably be trivial for a Windows programmer to put something together. I guess I could try myself, but ... well, it's Windows! Blech!! |
