Nov 19, 2008 : Brinkster Adds File Manager in Beta
📅 - Web hosting provider Brinkster (http://www.brinkster.com/) announced on Wednesday it has released the beta release of its new web-based File Manager, which was developed using Adobe's open source Flex Framework (adobe.com/products/flex).
The news follows Brinkster's recent expansion of its "90 Day No Nonsense Money Back Guarantee" promotion, which was previously only offered with its email and shared hosting services but now includes dedicated servers.
The new File Manager has a simplified interface that enables Brinkster customers to perform common file related functions right from a web browser, including changing file and folder security permissions on demand.
"After many months in development we are excited to beta release the next generation in web based file and folder management," says Jared Stauffer, president and CEO at Brinkster. "This new tool gives our customers the ease of use they have been asking for."
The File Manager also features a new text editor which enables users to open multiple files, search for text, jump to a line in the code, then make a change or update.
These features enable customers to quickly customize their web space, providing them with the ability to select and upload as many files as they wish, accompnied by a detailed progress bar.
The company says that simplicity was its primary objective in designing the new File Manager. Brinkster incorporated the look and feel of a standard PC file system in an effort to provide a simple way for customers to manage their files.
The File Manager acts as an "extension of the customer's desktop," supporting many similar features such as multiple windows with different file view options.
The web application was developed using Adobe Flex Framework, which operates inside Adobe's Flash 9 technology and resides on 97 percent of Brinkster customer's computers.
Adobe Flex has helped Brinkster build a web application that is interactive, easy to learn and able to be deployed consistently across all major browsers, desktops and operating systems, says the company.
