Personal FTP Server
 |
The FTP server is intended for personal use by non-technical users. Its single-user interface, permissions, and user connection limit of 5 precludes ALFTP from being used in large sites.
ALTools Eggheads
|
The AL part in ALFTP is a transliteration from the Korean, '알FTP', which directly translates as EggFTP. Other ALTools feature similar egghead cartoon characters as mascots for each program.
License change
|
As of December 1, 2008, ALFTP is no longer freeware and requires a commercial licence for all uses. Copies downloaded before December 1, 2008 are not affected by this new requirement. As of August 22, 2012, ALFTP has been released for free use.
