Globalscape is the
software company behind the very popular piece of software,
CuteFTP. They have, as many other companies, looked to higher goals than selling
shareware programs. They now try to
package their software as a
set (CuteFTP,
CuteHTML, and
CuteMX among them). Their software gets disabled heavily if you do not register, and still has banner ads, which may concern
privacy advocates for many reasons.
All in all, i feel that
CuteFTP is excellent
Windows software, especially since it would be quite tedious to do all of the transferring and resuming by hand. For
Macintosh, I'd suggest
Fetch or
Anarchie Pro.
CuteMX has caused quite a stir, along with other
file sharing networks such as
Gnutella and
Napster. This underused, and mostly overlooked network is doing quite well, as it is still mostly kept out of the eye of prying companies, who would seek to shut it down.
