Subject: Release of WebiToome – Receive Files from the Web
Black Diamond Products today announced the release of the first public beta
of its new personal internet application WebiToome.
WebiToome is an application that allows you to receive files directly onto
your personal computer via an input form on your existing web page. It is
suitable for both permanent and dial-up internet connections, and
automatically updates your specified web page to allow file transfers when
running. If you want people to send files directly to you by browsing your
web page, WebiToome is for you!
WebiToome:
* allows anyone who knows the URL of your specified web page to send you
files
* requires the sender to have no special software other than a modern browser
* is available for both Macs and PCs
* can handle up to ten incoming transmissions simultaneously
* is very simple to set up and run
* receives directly from the sender’s computer – no intermediate storage
on a central server is required
* works with both permanent and dial-up connections
* features comprehensive logging
* automatically maintains the file submission part of your web page
* can be run unattended
* can be used to back up critical files for other people
No longer is it necessary:
* to upload to a server for subsequent download
* to entrust your files to email
WebiToome does not replace your web host – it is not a web server but a
file receiver that works in conjunction with your normal web host.
For the more technically inclined, WebiToome acts as a receiver for files
sent via an HTTP “POST” from a form utilising “file” as the input type.
WebiToome is available for the Mac and for the PC. It is shareware, priced
at $20 for a single user license.
WebiToome is written by Peter Job and published by Black Diamond Products.
