Wormhole In My Upload Folder

The indomitable Master_Kale has presently released his FTP program, WormholeFTP. While aimed largely at the IT-impaired, I was lucky enough to secure an early release candidate for testing and have determined that the program is also supremely suited for the lazy (such as myself). Since obtaining it, I have entirely stopped using FireFTP for uploading files to my blog – and because of our implementation of SVN into The Nameless Mod’s organizational structure, I’ve almost completely stopped using FireFTP in general – because WHFTP is simply far more convenient: It just sits there on my desktop, waiting for me to drop files into it at my leisure, and presenting me a direct link in return.

The program is very simple, which is indeed its strength as well as its main feature: You simply drag a file over to the little window and drop it into the wormhole graphic, then a progress bar appears, and once the file is on your server, the progress bar is replaced by a download link. Click the link to open the file in a browser or right-click it to copy it to your clipboard. At my request, it is possible to define the URL in the program’s settings seperately from the upload directory setting, such that the program can give you a functional URL even if you’re using an esoteric subdomain. It really is a splendidly handy program, and at $8 it presents very good value for the price.
