Windows FTP Client for IT Professionals and Others

Polaris FTP (Version 3.1) is a 32-bit Windows FTP client.

There are so many Windows FTP clients on the market, why did we add another one?  We actually developed this program for our own use.  When we needed a Windows FTP client, we tried to find a suitable one on the market.  We tested several well-known ones, but none of them satisfied our needs.  Most of them were designed to download large files from the internet.  Efficiency was a problem with those programs.  For example, they tried to build a directory tree of the host when connection was established, which was annoying for IT professionals who had access rights to too many drives and directories on the host. Many functions, such as automatic resuming transfer after a broken connection was re-established, were not practical for IT professionals.  When tested with AS/400 hosts, they all died, requiring re-booting the PC; therefore we decided to write our own FTP client.

New Features in Version 3.1
Version 3.1 made some changes in user interfaces to let user enter directory names and filenames directly without selecting them from lists.  This makes it easier for the user to specify files and directories when the lists are very long.
Besides, Version 3.1 can handle more types of FTP hosts.
