Indianapolis, IN -- Pine Island Software has released version 2.6 of its
Beehive ftp forms with built-in "On-The-Fly" streaming compression.
In response to the ever increasing throughput requirements of Internet file
transfer, Pine Island Software has developed a new streaming compression
technology for ftp called "On-the-Fly". The "On-The-Fly" technology is now
shipping in both the Macintosh and Windows versions of the Beehive ftp
forms client.
Beehive streaming compression can compress graphics files "On-The-Fly" with
compression ratios of up to 30 to 1. Text files are typically compressed
about 3 to 1. The Beehive compression algorithm permits the files and
folders to be compressed WHILE they are being sent - there is no offline
compression time consumed as with traditional compression utilities. The
"On-The-Fly" technology permits Beehive to send files faster than any other
ftp package, even when the other ftp packages are combined with off the
shelf compression utilities!
Single user evaluation copies of Beehive ftp forms ver 2.6 (with full
compression functionality) may be downloaded FREE OF CHARGE from the
Beehive website:
www.theBeehive.com
Beehive ftp forms with "On-The-Fly" compression follows the Beehive -
Simple as 1, 2, 3 procedure:
1) drag your files and folders onto the Beehive icon,
2) fill out the form that pops open,
3) click send and the job is ftp'd with streaming compression.
"On-The-Fly" Streaming compression adds to a long list of Beehive ftp forms
firsts:
* the first ftp with both Macintosh and Windows clients,
* the first ftp to support dragging and dropping of complete folders,
* the first and only ftp to support built-in html forms,
* the first ftp with encrypted key security,
* the first and only ftp with an automated file post-processor with auto
file retrieval, forms printing, email notification, email receipt,
move-file-to-print-queue, script calling, file deletion, file decoding and
file decompression functions.
* the first ftp to implement streaming file compression.
Beehive ftp forms production versions have been licensed to over 1000
corporate sites and over 20,000 individual users. Beehive is uniquely
suited to applications that require high speed file transfer along with a
transaction form. Beehive is widely used in offset printing, prepress,
reprographics, advertising, newspapers, media-asset-management,
storage-area-networks and medical imaging.
