GlobalSCAPE, provider of file transfer software, announced CuteFTP 8, the latest version of its award-winning FTP client. CuteFTP 8 is available in both Home and Professional versions. Home offers value and ease-of-use for the casual user, while Professional maintains that ease-of-use and adds strong security and automation of tasks for business users. Additions to CuteFTP 8 include PGP encryption, complete podcasting support, expanded backup options, improved search and enhancements to the interface.

"CuteFTP 8 is the logical evolution of our FTP client," said Ted Marchut, product manager for CuteFTP. "The addition of PGP encryption to existing SSL and SSH security makes CuteFTP 8 the benchmark for file transfer security and compatibility. Also, CuteFTP 8's Task Automation Wizards make configuring automated transfers such as site mirroring, site back-ups and scheduled transfers a breeze."

CuteFTP 8 meets industry demands for FTP clients with these new tools:

-- PGP encryption and decryption ensures compatibility with industry standards and keeps your data secure during transfer and storage.

-- PodCast Manager handles all of your podcast subscriptions and publishing in one application. It creates podcast RSS feeds, uploads new audio files and automatically downloads new episodes.

-- Local Backup quickly and easily backs up your computer to a remote server for added data security.

-- Advanced Search finds files and folders easily, by name, size or creation/modification date, whether they are on your local computer or a remote server.

-- Advanced operations after transfer can be set to automatically exit and shutdown your computer, run a virus scan or any number of other tasks upon completing a transfer.

-- Turbo Transfer speeds up CuteFTP Home file transfer without additional configuration.

-- Color-coded tabs make it easier to navigate with CuteFTP Professional. Now, managing multiple transfers to multiple sites is easier than ever.

-- Improved Mode Z compression speeds the transfer of ASP, BMP, CSS, DAT, DOC, EXE, HTM, JS, LOG, PDF, PHP, PL, PPT, PY, SWF, TXT, VBS, XLS, XML and XSL files.

-- Task Automation Wizards ease configuration of scheduling file transfers, hot drop (folder monitoring), backing up remote servers, mirroring local and remote systems and adding new servers to the Site Manager.

-- UTF-8 support for the ISO 10646 character standard.

-- Usability improvements added to Bookmarks, Log Files, Macros, Time Zone Synchronization, and Quick Connect.
