Gaylord, Mich. – January 14, 2003 - Deerfield.com®, a leading provider of Internet optimization, connectivity, messaging, and security software, today announced the launch of a turnkey solution for file transfer with VisNetic FTPServer and VisNetic FTPClient.

“With the successful launch of our new FTP server and client, I’m pleased to bring a secure end-to-end FTP solution to our customers,” said Mike Deerfield, CEO of Deerfield.com. “Businesses with proprietary data benefit from using the VisNetic FTP suite by ensuring files remain protected not only during storage on the FTP site, but also during the transfer process; protecting corporate intellectual property, while keeping it portable for those who have a ‘need to know’, is a mission critical task that can be accomplished with VisNetic FTPServer and FTPClient.”

About VisNetic FTPServer

VisNetic FTPServer provides secure file distribution with detailed management of FTP traffic and requests. Utilizing technologies such as TLS/SSL encryption, detection/protection from DoS attacks, and support for the VisNetic AntiVirus Plug-in*, VisNetic FTPServer protects data stored on and transferred from the FTP server. Through unique administrative controls, which are available either directly from the server or through Remote Administration, VisNetic FTPServer manages the rights and restrictions for users (including NT user integration), groups, or the entire server, including bandwidth throttling.

*Support for the VisNetic AntiVirus Plug-in will be available in the next release of VisNetic FTPServer.
