 FolderFTP Readme.txt
 Version 1.0, June 2004
----------------------------------------------------------

FolderFTP automates the process of transferring files
from a local computer or network to a remote FTP server. 

FolderFTP allows you to monitor any folder on a local
hard drive or server, and automatically upload new files
to an FTP server. This can be useful for backup purposes
or for uploading files (text and images, for example) to
a web server or a picture desk. 

Once a file is added to the folder being monitored, the 
program will open an FTP connection to the remote server
and upload the new file(s). The program can automatically
assign a unique name to all files that are uploaded, 
ensuring that no files on the remote server are overwritten
and lost. You can also send automatic e-mail messages to
inform the recipient(s) -- or yourself -- that new files
have been uploaded. 

You can also drag and drop files into the FTP queue to
manually upload files. 

All program settings are stored in a local ini-file, 
meaning that you can easily copy the program (including
all settings) to multiple computers. Unlike some programs,
FolderFTP will not mess up your Windows Registry. 

FolderFTP was originally written to be used in a small news
desk environment, but can be useful for many different users,
including digital photographers, web publishers, network
administrators, advanced amateurs and IT-professionals.
