WS_FTP LE and WS_FTP Pro Versions
=================================
The WS_FTP "classic" user interface is available as both WS_FTP Pro 
and WS_FTP Limited Edition (LE). WS_FTP LE is a shareware version of 
WS_FTP that is made available free to non-commercial users. Read the 
WS_FTP LE license for information about free use of the LE version.

Note: The help file documents the WS_FTP Pro version, so if you are 
using the LE version, you will not have some of the features documented.

WS_FTP Pro offers the following features not found in the LE version:
· You can choose between the "Classic" interface, which is similar to 
  the WS_FTP LE interface, and the "Explorer" interface, which 
  integrates with Windows Explorer.
· Technical support is available for WS_FTP Pro.
· You can use folders to manage your FTP sites.
· You can do remote-to-remote transfers.
· Includes WS_FTP Pro Utilities to manage files and automate transfers:
    WS_FTP Find Utility -- lets users search an FTP site for files that 
    match the user’s criteria.
    WS_FTP Scripting Utility - automates the transfer and management of 
    files by letting you create scripts that use basic FTP commands.
    WS_FTP Synchronize Utility - allows you to "mirror" folders and 
    directories between your PC and a remote FTP server.
· You can perform multiple file transfers using WS_FTP Pro commands 
  from a DOS prompt.
· You can use the WS_FTP Pro Development Kit (available separately) to 
  write custom file transfer applications to automate regular uploads 
  or downloads.

WS_FTP LE Description
=====================
  WS_FTP LE is a Windows-based file transfer client 
  application that transfers files between a user’s local PC and 
  another, remote computer system connected via a modem and telephone
  lines or by a local-area network. With WS_FTP LE, users can connect
  to any remote system that has a valid Internet address and an FTP 
  server program, browse through directories and files, and transfer 
  files between the two systems. In addition, users can create, change,
  and remove directories and view, execute, rename, or delete files.

  WS_FTP LE complies with the Windows sockets (Winsock) standard, 
  allowing you to transfer files between a wide variety of systems, 
  including Windows, OS/2, and UNIX systems.
