I don't know about your neck of the woods, Sellam,
but here in Central Florida
where Joe and I live the BBB is little more than a shakedown for small
businesses. Each time they call me to solicit a membership and I tell them
that I'm not interested, they close the conversation by stating that "there
have been recent inquiries concerning your company" and "we'll get back to
those who inquired and let them know that you're not a member in good
standing and that you refused to provide us with information regarding your
business."
Hmmm. Sounds like you can make a legal case for extortion if you can
determine that in fact there are no such inquiries.
And BTW, what's wrong with the FTP client provided
with Win9x? Sure, it's
command-line only, but IMHO beats paying for a GUI version . . .
Hahahahaha :)
Seriously though, there are freeware versions that can be readily
downloaded that are 1000 times better. But for my purposes, I like
VanDyke's Secure FX because I don't use any open-text (i.e. unencrypted)
protocols any longer for remote access.
