FlashFXP

FlashFXP is a proprietary FTP client with a simple Windows-based GUI. FlashFXP supports both client-to-server and server-to-server (FXP) transfers, in addition to SCP/SFTP.

==History== In the summer of 1998, Charles DeWeese (nicknamed flashd/bigstar) was hanging out with friends on Internet Relay Chat. Around April, a few of his friends suggested he create an FXP client because the existing FXP clients weren't very reliable. After a few weeks of tossing ideas back and forth, he decided that his next project would be an FXP client. DeWeese started developing MyFXP in Visual Basic 4, but he soon realized that Visual Basic fell short in many areas. A friend, the author of LeapFTP, suggested that he use Borland Delphi. Therefore, DeWeese switched to Borland Delphi 4. Although the original name was MyFXP, the program was later renamed to FlashFXP, and on June 24, 1998, FlashFXP was started. Nearly a month later, on July 23, 1998, FlashFXP 1.0 was released.
