BFTP Enters Test Phase

I'm happy to report that BFTP has entered the test phase. It is already stable and usable, but a few bugs still need working out. The initial feature set is also more robust than I had intended, making the imminent release of version 1 that much more exciting!

BFTP Update

I reviewed the initial build of BFTP today -- sorry, still no screenshots -- and am pleased with our progress so far. One feature that was cool to see in action was the directory masking. Essentially this allows the service provider to create human-friendly aliases for a directory on the server. So, for example, a directory at galleries/wedding would appear as "Wedding Gallery" to the end user.

We are behind on my original schedule, but should have a beta version soon. The management website is another story, though. Guess I better get to work.

BFTP Update

A quick update on the brandable FTP application:

• Initial user interface is done -- sorry, no screenshot yet.
• FTP connection is done. That's good.
• XML for meta data and the XML parser is done.

I've posted a preliminary site where you can sign up to be notified when BFTP is released.

Brandable FTP Client

We've started on a new project called -- for lack of a better name at the moment -- BFTP. It's a brandable FTP client for ISPs and Web developers that will greatly reduce the hassle of providing FTP to customers.

Features include:

• Brandable for each ISP or developer.
• Packages customer FTP info for quick and easy access to a website.
• Web-based control panel for managing customer access.
