4 unexpected things in the all-new UltraFTP v18.00
The all-new UltraFTP v18.00 is here! IDM's blazing fast FTP client is now even faster with substantial performance gains for connections and transfers. Read more about the all-new UltraFTP v18.00 below..
1) Threaded transfers for significantly faster uploads / downloads
Want to slash transfer time by up to 25%? We have leveraged UltraFTP's architecture to optimize transfer times with respect to the connection limit set for the FTP account. In fact, we've seen transfer times decrease significantly to the point where, in some cases, UltraFTP completes the transfer operation in 25% of the time it takes other leading FTP clients to do the same!
Keep in mind that these performance improvements are more apparent as the number of files / folders you're downloading in a single transfer operation increases. Additionally, we recommend that you check / increase the connection limit setting for each account in the FTP account settings. Increase this setting to a higher number to take full advantage of these new optimizations and advancements in performance.
2) Preserve original timestamp on transferred files
Upload / download your files without modifying their timestamps! V18.00 includes new options in the FTP account settings (Advanced tab) to preserve the file's original date and time stamp, and to display localized date and time for the remote file listing (essentially providing transposed timestamps from the server, for the time zone you're in).
3) Copy file's path or URL to file
Want to quickly get the full path or even an HTTP(S) link to a file / folder? Now you can! The new "Copy path" and "Copy URL" items in the remote pane context menu will put the associated item on your clipboard so that you can paste it into your HTML source. This is an incredibly useful feature that you won't be able to live without once you start using it.
Is your FTP root a different path than your site root? No problem! Simply define your site prefix and the root path in the FTP account's settings ("Advanced" tab) and UltraFTP will parse together the valid front-end path that you need.
4) Go mouseless with improved keyboard support
We've improved keyboard support in UltraFTP so that you keyboard lovers can interact with your local system and remote servers without ever having to reach for the mouse. Use F2 to rename files, F5 to refresh the active file listing, and access the context menu now via the context menu key or Shift + F10.
