Those of you used to trying to send large files to people
know what a pain it is. Even a zipped file can take ages to send
via email, even if you're just trying to send photos to a
friend.
There's a new file transfer solution on the block, however, and
it's name is Tirminal.
Tirminal is free and offers transfers of unlimited amounts of
data, without the recipient ever having to download a client or
application.

Software in Review (3.5.07)

Sending large quantities of files over the Internet can prove
to be a challenge, particularly when you've got many megabytes
worth of photos from your recent family reunion and many aunts
and uncles (as well as Grandma) awaiting their arrival via
email! Sure, maybe you could attach some of this content to an
email from your regular email client, but even if you've got the
patience to upload each image one at a time, how many of your
family members will actually be able to receive a digital
package of that size? Just before this realization led me to
start burning DVD's and prepare for a mass delivery throughout
the United States and abroad, along came Tirminal.

John Dubinsky [Information technology partner; The Maven
Group] needed a way to transfer large files to clients
in a simple and secure manner. Many solutions that he tried
required uploading clients' files to a Web site's server, which
took extra time and concerned some clients who were protective
of the security of their information. Dubinsky now uses Tirminal
to transfer files that he would have otherwise sent as email
attachments or through an FTP process. "We use Tirminal for
transferring large files (500MB) and for sending secure
information," said Dubinsky. "The nice thing about Tirminal is
that the whole process can be encrypted and secured, using
256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard encryption." Although
Dubinsky praises Tirminal's security features, what he likes
best is that it's simple. He explained, "It takes something
cryptic like the FTP process and makes it simple and secure for
any staff person to learn in a few seconds. If you can use
email, you can use Tirminal."
Tirminal doesn't require a third-party server such as FTP or
HTTP, and data is never stored at a remote location. Users who
are receiving files aren't required to have Tirminal installed
on their desktops. You can download the software at Tirminal's
Web site.

It seems like every
conference and trade show
has at least some surprises
... one of mine for the NY
Show last month was a
Manhattan-based company IT
company with a fairly
elegant email/CRM/remote
access/calendaring/time and
billing system called
OfficePax. Its
claim to fame is that it
offers many workgroup
features and benefits
previously unavailable
without an Exchange
server. It uses a simple,
albeit very powerful
topology to deliver
connectivity without the
usually accompanying
complexity. Since many
accounting practices feel
they are "too small" to
afford, either in dollars or
time, to implement Exchange
the OfficePax product just
may find a friendly niche
here.
PC MAGAZINE REVIEW (7.19.06)

In a single application, eTouchWare's OfficePax integrates
many of the essential tools needed to keep a small business
running. The product has limitations, but it offers a good
mix of outstanding features, including messaging, a capable
e-mail client, task and contact management, shared contacts,
calendars, and folders, and lightweight
CRM (customer relationship management). eTouch describes
the app as a "suite that helps small and mid-sized
businesses increase productivity." It is not, however, a
traditional productivity app in that it doesn't offer
functions like word processing, spreadsheets, and so on.
You'll still need to have these apps on your business's
machines. But if you want to go beyond simple e-mail to stay
in touch, OfficePax isn't a bad way to start. The new
release (1.9) comes in four versions; I tested the most
full-featured one, Extreme.
Other than having to open a few firewall ports, I
encountered few hassles setting up OfficePax. The small
server module and simple console are free and install on a
single machine running Microsoft Windows XP SP2. The server
and standalone clients provide secure communications, so
users can connect from anywhere without a VPN.
