360Works Launches FTPeek FileMaker FTP plugin for OS X and Windows
ATLANTA (Business Wire EON) June 5, 2008 --
360Works, a leading FileMaker product developer, has launched FTPeek, a
Universal Binary FileMaker plug-in that allows the upload, download, and
manipulation of remote files on an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server
entirely within a developer’s FileMaker
solution. It is now available for download from http://www.360works.com/ftpeek.
“360Works built its reputation by being
responsive to its customers and the marketplace. That’s
why we developed FTPeek to meet the demand we discovered for key updates
to an essential plugin,” said 360Works founder
and president Jesse Barnum. “FTPeek is the
first FTP plugin built specifically for the new FileMaker plugin API and
the server scheduling features and secure transfers have been a big hit
with our early adopters.”
FileMaker developers and FileMaker consultants can see a movie of FTPeek
in action at http://www.360works.com/static/ftpeek_demos/ftpeekdemo.mov
“FTPeek is an absolute god-send and I have
deployed it in many solutions already,” said
360Works customer ican Ltd developer Robin Ledward. “I
think highly of 360Works plugins generally because they make my life so
much easier.”
“No need to thank me for being an early
FTPeek adopter,” said Matt Klein at Small
Business Computers of New England, Inc. “The
fact that it supports FTP, SFTP, and FTPS is key. We have replaced two
plug-ins (one for FTP and one for SFTP) with a single plug-in and can
now offer FTPS as an alternative to our customers.”
“I like the FTPeek plugin so far, it is easy
and straight forward,” said 360Works customer
and early FTPeek adopter Ruben van den Boogaard of Infomatics Software. “I
am a big fan of 360Works SuperContainer, and use their Scriptmaster
product, too.”
Laud Music‘s Michael Lau downloaded his
three-month beta test drive of FTPeek in March and calls it “awesome.”
FTPeek was developed for FileMaker developers and FileMaker consultants
seeking updated functionality in FTP plugins. Its key features include:
Universal Binary cross-platform support
FTPeek runs at full native speed on Windows and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or
10.5 (Leopard) on PPC and Intel. FileMaker 7 or later is required.
Installation and configuration is the same on Windows and Mac, and does
not require purchasing separate Mac and Windows versions - the same
license key works on all platforms.
Runs on FileMaker Server
Allowing the automation of nightly FTP batch transfers with the
scheduled script triggering feature of FileMaker Server 9. No more
'robot' machines to maintain. It will also run in the Web Publishing
Engine, allowing developers to embed FTP scripts straight into your
FileMaker web solution with Instant Web Publishing (IWP) or Custom Web
Publishing. These features require an Enterprise License.
Security:
Public key encryption is included with support for FTP over SSL (FTPS)
and FTP over SSH (SFTP). Using encrypted FTP is as easy as switching one
plugin function. In addition, you can access the public key of your FTP
server to protect yourself from DNS spoofing attacks.
Transfer directly to/from FileMaker fields:
Developers that need to upload a Word document stored in their FileMaker
solution, or upload HTML from a text field are no longer required to
write it to a temporary directory - you can FTP directly from text and
container fields to the FTP server. The same goes for downloads. This
also works with documents and images stored with 360Works SuperContainer.
Includes a built-in FTP user interface:
If users are to have full FTP access to the server, there's no need to
build those layouts or run an external application - a full-featured,
100% FileMaker FTP solution is included with the plugin.
Pricing and availability
Pricing for FTPeek starts at $195 for a 10-user workgroup license - less
than $20 per user. There is a 10% discount for FMPug members (access
discount codes from http://www.fmpug.com).
Developer licenses and Enterprise licenses are available, as well as a
free demo - check http://www.360works.com/ftpeek/
