FotoWare Connect

Multi-threaded architecture means multiple transfers can run at any one time

Distribute files from a single input to an endless number of destinations and across different network protocols.

Transfer entire folder structures easily, mirroring the original folder structure or not – it’s your choice.

Automatically rename processed files using a number of options to get exactly the result you want.

Sort files by file type, prefix or the number of files in each output folder.

Offload file processing servers by distributing output files evenly between servers.

Choose when your channels should run and not by setting a Run Schedule for each input.

Convenient to use and manage

Users can easily transfer files by dropping them into an input folder. Connect takes care of the rest.

Stay in control of file transfer activity on your servers using the Operations Center administration console.

Connect automatically transfers files across local and network drives, email, FTP and FotoWare protocols. Set it and forget it!
