There are plenty of big-name sync tools available for Android -- like Dropbox, SugarSync, and Fiabee. Those of you who prefer taking the DIY approach, however, might want to check out BotSync, a new app that can connect to your own SFTP server. Configuring BotSync is simple enough. Enter your server address and credentials, the appropriate port number, local and remote directories to use as ...

The free, open source app is a powerful way to transfer files between your desktop and the cloud, supporting FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google Docs, Windows Azure, and more. Now, Cyberduck has finally arrived on Windows. The release of version 4.0 beta packs the same great features as the Mac version, including SCP, ...

ClipUpload is definitely one of the neater tools that I've seen today. Once you fire it up, it nestles in a comfy spot in your system tray and waits. When you decide you want to send somebody a file, an image, or a long snippet of text, you just copy that file to your clipboard and click ClipUpload's icon once. That single click makes ClipUpload instantly upload your file to an online host ...

I honestly should have known better. Right from the get-go, GoodSync Explorer seemed kind of iffy. It didn't feel like malware, but I got strong "crapware" vibes. The description says that it uses "File System technology from GoodSync." Uh, ... File System technology? That sounds ... impressive. Still, I decided to take the plunge and try it anyway. I downloaded and installed it. I was happy to ...

In today's day and age, transferring files is a pain in the ass. Sure, there's email or instant messenger if you want to transfer a single file from A to B -- but what if there's an attachment size limit on your email, or a firewall preventing you from sending files? What if you want to transfer whole directories? It's certainly possible but it's painful. Then there's FTP, an ancient technology ...

If you're an IT Administrator (or even a developer who's lucky enough to "own" the server your apps run on), you've seen this go down before - you're out and about, having a great time when the phone rings. Something is horribly broken and needs your magic touch right away. Surely it's as simple as bouncing a system process - 2 minutes tops! Unfortunately, you're nowhere near a PC to type in ...

Panic's Transmit has been a familiar name in Mac software for years, to the point where that famous truck icon is synonymous with FTP for many Mac users. Even though there's solid competition out there -- Flow, for example, is quite nice -- Panic has worked hard to keep Transmit at the top of the heap. Today's release of Transmit 4 features a sexy revamped UI, under-the-hood speed improvements, ...

With all the hoopla that surrounds the iPhone OS it's hard for some to imagine that some geeks...don't have (or want) an iPhone. Android, Google's mobile platform has been getting a lot of credit and recognition, especially as their app store continues. Once you get past the cheesy games and fart machines, Android offers some great tools to people when they aren't tied down to a desk. For ...

WinSCP is freeware SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) and SCP (Secure CoPy) client for Windows using SSH (Secure Shell) and has hit version 4.2.6. Its main purpose is the safe of copying files between local and remote computers. Beyond this basic function, it manages some other actions with files, like basic operations with files, such as copying and moving. One of two selectable program interfaces ...

Love it or hate it, Blogger was the tool that really brought blogging into the mainstream. Once upon a time, the only way to have your blog hosted on your own domain was to use Blogger as the content management system, but then have it use FTP to push HTML pages to your web host. Fast forward to 2010, and it turns out that only half of one percent of Blogger's users are using Blogger's FTP upload ...

NetDrive is a Windows utility that lets you treat remote FTP sites as if they were local drives. The first time you connect to an FTP site, you have to create a profile. But once you're connected you can copy files to and from the FTP site using Windows Explorer or any other file explorer of your choosing. No FTP client required. To disconnect from the FTP server, just bring up the NetDrive ...

Part of my day job - like many of you, no doubt - involves making sure that a number of folders on my network are backed up, syncedd, uploaded, and otherwise maintained. After experimenting with Fling on my small, home network, it looks like it might just simplify my chores at work, too. Fling is a tiny download - about 230KB - but it's packed with features. It's built for local, network, and ...

One thing that bothers me about some manufacturers is the way they provide drivers on their website. Why should I have to suffer through a sluggish 70mb download when all I want is the 300k in the drivers\winxp folder? LoadScout is one possible solution to that problem. Paste the link to your file, and LoadScout will connect and display its contents. Highlight what you need, click the extract ...

Every now and then I need to FTP something from a computer that doesn't have an FTP client installed. Since it always seems to happen when I forget my flash drive, I like the option of using net2ftp's web-based client. The basic interface is all PHP, so it should work just fine in any browser. It performed nicely in Chrome, Firefox, and IE on my desktop and even on my iPod touch. It's a very ...
