Skype 4.1.0.166

Download Now

A little piece of software that lets you talk over the internet to anyone, anywhere in the world for free.

With Skype’s free software – by the way, it works seamlessly with your internet connection – you can chat away with free Skype-to-Skype calls and never worry about cost, time or distance. Share the love and get your friends to download Skype so you can talk, chat or make video calls for nothing. You can also make local, long distance and international calls to phones and mobiles at great rates too.

Skype is jam-packed with great features to help you stay in touch with friends, family and co-workers, share your thoughts and find the information you need.

You can use it on a computer or get Skype on your mobile so you can keep in touch on the move, whatever you’re up to. Skype works on a wide range of mobiles, plus on devices like the PlayStation Portable (PSP). There’s also a great range of WiFi and cordless phones with Skype built-in.

Just for starters you can instant message with anyone on your contact list or even use group chat to chat with up to a hundred people. You could hold a conference call with up to nine other people to organise a get-together and then use SkypeFind to search for the perfect venue to hold it.

There are also really cool video features. All you need is a webcam to make free video calls or even take photos of yourself to personalise Skype.

If you use Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, GMail, Hotmail or your mail account with Yahoo! then it’s a simple task to import contacts and get them all onto your Skype. If they don’t have Skype yet you can send them invite to download it – then you can talk for free (and maybe you’ll even get a nice bouquet of flowers and a chocolate bar from them to say thanks for getting them onto Skype? We’d like to think that’s in order).

Got friends on MySpace? Get them to download Skype or MySpace’s version of Skype. Then add them to your Skype contact list and you’ve got even more people to talk to for free. Simply search for them in Skype and click the MySpaceIM tab in the search results.

Adding someone to your contact list is easy. But you can also add people who are not yet on Skype and call them on their phones and mobiles at pretty cheap rates wherever they are.

Also, if your Microsoft Outlook contacts have phone numbers, you can have them show up on your contact list so you can call them. You’ll need Skype Credit or a monthly subscription to make calls to phones and mobiles.

Use Skype to give your friends a call and voice chat with them at the highest quality on the market.

FileReplicationPro 1.0

Download Now

FileReplicationPro is a software solution for mission critical file replication, file synchronization, and file backup

FileReplicationPro is the best way to automate file copy operations and file distribution.

FRP is written in Java and will work on any operating system that supports Java, which includes any Windows operating system, any flavor of Unix including Linux, Novell Netware, Sun Solaris, and Mac OS X.

FRP, is a pure TCP/IP application. Simply put that means that any two computers that are connected via a LAN, WAN or the Internet can use FileReplicationPro.

FRP allows a user to move, copy, and synchronize directories and files by creating jobs. A job is a listing of the source path, destination path and the file operation you want to perform such as copy, move, two way sync or one way sync.

Once you create a job, you can create a schedule for the job. Schedules range from immediate, run once at a particular time, run on an interval or run continuously. Schedules can be quite complex and flexible.

Advanced features such as filters to include or exclude, bandwidth throttling, and initialization procedures to comply with firewall rules are also available.

FRP is a "set it and forget it" operation. Once you configure it, the engine will continue working under the hood. It creates summary and detail log files which are configurable and marks each success and failure. Email alerts are available to monitor that jobs are running correctly.

FileReplicationPro provides a lot of value at a reasonable cost. Our licensing scheme is simple and provides all the features for one price. You get multi-threading, bit level replication, real-time OS hooks, bandwidth throttling and auto-detection all for one low price. New features are always being added and those come free if you purchase the maintenance and support bundle.

What makes FileReplicationPro Smart ?
FRP allows any computer connected to any network to replicate, synchronize or backup to any other computer.

FRP recognizes that although you may be managing dozens of computers, chances are you are not physically in front of them all. It therefore provides centralized management and monitoring points.

All server and job definitions and all their logs and status information are available centrally. This way the administrator is always in control no matter where the physical server are located.

FRP is smart about what it copies, optimizing data transmission to better support the needs of data intensive mission critical environments

FRP uses differential replication skipping the files that haven't changed since the last replication. If a file has changed, it uses bit-level comparison technologies to only transfer over the portions of the file that have changed.

The transmitted data is zipped on the fly, to minimize network traffic, and is optionally encrypted, to maximize security. And, if you are using the real time option, it has operating system hooks that inform FRP within milliseconds of a file addition, deletion or change. This is very useful when you have hundreds of thousands of files you need to keep in sync.

FRP is truly versatile. It works in your environment, whatever that may be. From the ability to copy from Windows to Linux, Novell and Mac OS X, it . And as long as you are on the same TCP/IP network - anywhere on the Internet, FRP will work for you.

FRP doesn't just copy files, it also copies the permissions from both Windows and Unix computers. In Mac OS X it copies the files' resource forks as well. FRP makes sure you get the complete file you need with all its associated permissions.

For the advanced user, we have include and exclude file name filters, and firewall friendly ports and ip addressing so that you can get the files you need where ever you may need them. And if there is a problem, FRP will retry for you and pick off from where it left off. You always have a log and the ability to be alerted via email.

What makes FileReplicationPro Easy ?

During installation and configuration on a local network, FRP really shines. By using multicasting, FRP can detect its own installations. This means that if you install FRP on 2 or 20 computers in the same network, all of them will show up on a single configuration screen with no additional work required.

You can immediately begin setting up jobs and schedules. You don't even have to know their IP addresses. This is the type of ease of use that makes FRP stand out.

And then during configuration, everything is intuitive. Because all the servers have already been automatically detected, you simply have to provide the source and destination directory information. Add a schedule to the job and then watch the status to see how it performs.

Once you are satisfied, simply walk away and let FRP do all the work. If a job fails, or a transfer was incomplete, you'll get an alert email, and then you come back to a central management console where all log and status information, for all servers is at your fingertips.

With FRP, there is no confusion and no confusing configuration parameters. It's simple. Any computer on any operating system over any network and anyone can use it. It's really that easy.

What makes FileReplicationPro Secure ?

FileReplicationPro takes security very seriously and has created a number of safeguards to ensure that your files are secure.

If you choose to encrypt your file transmission, we use the Advanced Encryption Standard at 128 bit. This is the Federal information processing standard for advanced encryption used by US Government organizations to protect sensitive information.

For two computers to participate in the replication they must exchange and match encrypted licenses. All licenses are embedded and encrypted within the software. This prevents an untrusted server from participating in the replication.

In addition, FRP will only transfer data in the context of pre-configured scheduled jobs from "known" servers and will reject any "open-ended" communications attempt.

FRP runs in the application layer (although it functions as a service) and is subject to the security framework of its host server. In addition, we also allow the owner of each and every server that participates in the replication to set a replication password, if he so chooses to control replication access to the servers.

The configuration console pages are also password protected. This password ensures that the administrator is the only one with access to the jobs and schedules.

By using Java based FileReplicationPro running as a pure TCP/IP application instead of a Windows based solution, you are also eliminating many known and unknown risks. Shared folders and Windows Networking are well known for their vulnerabilities.

FileReplicationPro offers several state of the art technologies to ensure the security of your replication, synchronization and backup.

· Java 1.4.1 or above

Automatically backs up and recovers everything on your computer

Norton Ghost provides advanced backup and recovery for your computer. Protect your documents, financial records, presentations, photos, music, videos, historical documents, or any other kinds of data you keep on your computer by making a backup of your computer's entire hard disk. Or, limit your backup to include only those files and folders that mean the most to you.

You can schedule backups to capture your changes automatically as you work from day to day. Or start a backup manually at any time. You can also easily configure Norton Ghost to run a backup in response to specific events. For example, a backup can be started when a particular application is started, or when a specified amount of new data has been added to the drive.

When you experience a problem with your computer, you can restore a file, folder, or an entire drive, to return your computer to a previous, working state with the operating system, applications, and data files intact. Or if you accidently delete a personal file, get it back with a few simple steps.

Using easy-to-follow wizards, set up fast and reliable backups that run while you continue to work. Or schedule your backups to run after hours when you are no longer using your computer.

When disaster strikes, Norton Ghost helps you recover your computer from the effects of many common problems, including
· Virus attacks: Damage might be done before a virus is quarantined.
· Faulty software installations: Some software can negatively affect your computer's performance, slowing it down to the point that opening programs or documents can require too much time. But once installed, uninstalling a product might not recover unintentional damage done during an install.
· Hard drive failure: Data can become corrupted on your system drive (typically C), making it impossible to start your operating system
· Files accidentally deleted or overwritten: Accidental deletion of files is common, but often costly.
· Corrupted files: Individual files and folders can become corrupted by viruses, or when a program used to modify them encounters an error

Run flerver are just a few of the tools fouM drives

You need the Ultimate Boot CD if you want to Run floppy-based diagnostic utilities from CDROM drives, Free yourself from the slow loading speed of the floppy drive, or Consolidate as many diagnostic programs as possible into one bootable CD.

You need the Ultimate Boot CD if you want to:

- Run floppy-based diagnostic tools from CDROM drives. More and more PCs are shipped without floppy drives these days, and it is such a royal pain when you need to run diagnostic tools on them.

- Free yourself from the slow loading speed of the floppy drive. Even if you do have a floppy drive, it is still much much faster to run your diagnostic tools from the CDROM drive, rather than wait for the tool to load from the floppy drive.

- Consolidate as many diagnostic tools as possible into one bootable CD. Wouldn't you like to avoid digging into the dusty box to look for the right floppy disk, but simply run them all from a single CD? Then the Ultimate Boot CD is for you!

- When you boot up from the CD, a text-based menu will be displayed, and you will be able to select the tool you want to run. The selected tool actually boots off a virtual floppy disk created in memory.

Full Version: The full version contains all the tools found in the basic version but also adds the INSERT environment, a Linux distribution based on Knoppix. INSERT contains many utilities for the Linux user, such as the ability to mount most filesystems (including NTFS(rw) via Captive), ssh and sshfs which allows you to mount a filesystem over ssh, Samba client and server, IDS and testing tools such as Nessus and Snort, Rdesktop to remote control Windows servers, VNC, Qtparted for re-partitioning, iptables, and Monkey webserver are just a few of the tools found on the UBCD version of INSERT.
