No More Free FTP for Uncle Sam

No More Free FTP for Uncle Sam 09/05/2004 09:42 AM

Ipswitch yanks free FTP software from government market: I've used WS_FTP faithfully for years. At work, I've paid for the professional version (v9 is just out and it's quite good — they finally updated their sorry user interface), but at home I use the Limited Edition that they're talking about here.

Ipswitch has pulled WS_FTP Limited Edition, its free FTP software, from the government market.

Agencies no longer have the license to use the free utility program or the right to distribute it, according to company officials.[...]

Shawn McCarthy, program manager in government and education at IDC, said that although the free utility has long been popular, "the need for increased security — including secure connectivity, encryption for greater file security and key matching technology — is now driving government users in a new direction."

Nothing in this article says it's not still free for personal use.

The Motley Fool - How much are you allowed to gain from the sale of stock before you must pay capital gains tax on it? Uncle Sam's hand is out as soon as you make your first dollar. However, you can offset some of the gain with any losses from sales of stock. So if you've made a bundle on Dell (Nasdaq: DELL - News) and have lost a bundle on Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: SUNW - News), you can eke out a bit of a benefit from the loss.
