WS_FTP Professional Introduction

Ipswitch WS_FTP Professional 12 and Home 12 is the leading file transfer client with millions of users worldwide. You can easily and securely transfer files between your home and office and to and from customers, clients, or vendors.

When your computer is connected to the Internet, WS_FTP can connect to any computer that has a valid Internet address and is running an FTP, SFTP, or HTTP server program.
