SNEAK PEEK: WS_FTP Server 6 with SSH
Ipswitch has posted a "sneak peek" at the upcoming release of WS_FTP Server 6 with SSH.
You can enter your email address in the "let me know" form to be notified when the new product launches and is available for trial and purchase.
The new web administration looks fantastic! It's a great facelift from the previous version of the product. And new encryption strength and file integrity match that found in WS_FTP Pro and are the strongest you'll find anywhere.
Other release highlights include:
- Faster FTP transfers and improved scalability
- Transfer files over FTP, SSL & SSH protocols
- Industry-leading 256-bit AES encryption
- Uncompromised file integrity with SHA-512
- High availability architecture for clustering & load balancing
- Stronger password policies including auto-expiration
- Customizable logging of transfers and admin activity

Looks very different from my WS FTP Server 5.0....I would like to know what is the download and installation size of this new product update and is it Vista compatible....
looks good, Ipswitch, Paul

Hi Paul -- Yeah, the new WS_FTP Server 6 is much improved over the older version. It will run on mostly server operating systems: Windows 2000 (Pro and Server), Windows 2003 Server and also Windows XP. It will also run on the new Longhorn operating system when it's launched. Not sure of the exact file size but it shouldn't be anything to worry about. And the actual installation is very quick .... took me less than 6 minutes.

Is there any private or public testing going on with this? I'd certainly be interested both for private and work related use.
