Lean and Mean Applet Threatens Desktop Clients

Rad Inks announces the release of a Secure SFTP applet complete with a Graphical User Interface with a mere 150 Kilo Byte file size. The very short download time makes the applet an ideal replacment for costly desktop clients.

Thanks to the severe restrictions imposed by the Java virtual machine, it is rather unusual for an applet to perform network tasks. The Rad Inks team has successfully overcome these restrictions to build a lean and mean File Transfer tools that is one fifth the size of most similar programs.

Since many web based software involves lengthy downloads, user generally prefer to use desktop clients for file management. Unfotunately an organization would need to purchase a licence for each user of the software and the cost can run into thousands of dollars for any medium sized organization.

The extremely small file size makes Rad SFTP applet an ideal replacement for these desktop FTP clients. Most companies would require only one license regardless of the number of user. What’s more the user can access the applet even while away from office.

The applet uses SSL technology to encrypt all transactions between the client and the server hence the term Secure FTP. Commonly available file transfer clients on the other hand do not make use of encryption. This leaves the door open for would be attackers to gain access to your passwords and sensitive data.

Rad Inks is an Innovative tech startup based in Asia and specializes in Java Technology. The company plans to release several applications in the coming months that will complement it’s secure ftp software. The applet can be downloaded at www.radinks.com/sftp
