NSC Releases ShareIt FTP Pro with SSL/TLS support for Microsoft Pocket PC

AURORA, Ontario --- Aug. 30 2004 --- NSC today introduced ShareIt FTP Pro 1.7, the next major release of it's award-winning FTP server software. ShareIt FTP is a robust, secure and easy-to-use file sharing solution that enables home, academic, government, industrial and corporate users to transfer and manage files on their handheld devices over the Internet. Fine-tuned for Microsoft Pocket PC devices, ShareIt FTP Pro 1.7 includes 168-bit 3DES SSL/TLS support, certificate creation tools and performance enhancements to make transferring information across wireless and public networks safe and reliable.

"With ShareIt FTP Pro, NSC is taking a giant step ahead of our competitors by offering the only file transfer software that addresses the security and mobility requirements of wireless applications," said Jeff Preston, President & CEO of NSC. "ShareIt FTP delivers exactly what our customers have been asking for."

ShareIt FTP is the ideal FTP server solution for secure file transfer, website maintenance, software deployment and remote data management. The software runs in the background on the Pocket PC device and includes a comprehensive set of monitoring, firewall, recovery and access control features.

New features include:

• SSL/TLS support. When used with a secure FTP client (on any platform), users can transfer files with 168-bit 3DES encryption.

• Deflate transmission mode (MODE Z). Co-developed by NSC, this open standard FTP extension can increase network throughput and decrease transfer times by compressing file and system data.

• New real-time display. View user activity (including security status) and server statistics in real time.
