There are many documents file formats that are commonly used. If a file was created in one application (Adobe Acrobat, MS Word, Wordpad, etc.) and you want just use it in for your internet websites as graphics, you can either import the file or use a conversion program. Most word processing programs provide an Import function, which provides built-in conversion for various document formats. Simply select Import from the File or Import menu and choose the document type you want to input. If your word processor does not import the document type you need, you can usually use the ASCII file format as a common denominator. However, you will need the word processing program that created the original document. This is not always possible because of size and price of such programs. Also converting such file to graphics can cause a problem because usually these applications do not have such converters. Sometimes computer users run across such weird tasks like PDF converter,  or PDF konvertieren. Convert HTML to image is also not very common task that can stop your work for indefinite time. And what about if you need to convert such rare file formats as database files, 3D graphics? Installing these software not only expensive but in many cases also time consuming. Another problem that can arise is unknown user interface. It’s not easy to find how to do needed conversion in a large software products like 3DMax, Maya or Adobe Illustrator. In thins case you have to use standalone application. The solutions is - universal standalone conversion program. There are a lot of free tools that can help you make needed conversions. But they usually have several problems - command line usage which is not easy to conceive for users who don’t remember command line computer interfaces or were not happy to be born prior to computers appearing. Another problem of such free tools is that number of formats for conversion usually not more than you can find in commonly used MS Office package.

It is difficult to imagine, that in our time of high technologies there exist places, where progress didn’t come. Moreover, the more this progress can reduce possible profit, the longer time they are restraining it by all available means.

As you know, the most of free e-mail services exist because of advertising earnings that is shown to the Users in the web-interface of mailbox. That is the reason why does internet giants of web-industry do not hurry to made the free access for e-mail by means of protocols POP3 and SMTP, because then the effects of their publicity will decrease, and they do not want that.Such giants as Yahoo.com, MSN.com, and AOL.com have many users who are attached to other services of the companies and they are being slow to provide users with such access, just because people got used to use the web interface.

FlashFXP is an FTP/FXP client that allows FTP transfers directly between two servers (allowing you to transfer files independent of your PC’s connection speed). FlashFXP uses a familiar, Explorer-like interface that even the most novice user can master in minutes. It offers features such as drag-and-drop, CHMOD support, SSL/TLS transfer, enterprise-friendly rollout options, firewall and proxy support, strong application encryption, speed limiting, statistics, scheduling, and autoreconnecting.

Though it lacks features for massive FTP transfers, FlashFXP proves quite useful for smaller scale transfers. The utility doesn’t let you download or upload multiple files at once to or from several servers, however (to bypass the limitation, you have to launch another program instance). To make up for this shortcoming, FlashFXP lets you transfer files from site to site without copying them to your computer. As should be expected, you will find support for SSL. FlashFXP supports scheduling, but you can schedule only one file queue. You won’t find tools for automatically synchronizing local and remote folders. We liked FlashFXP’s straightforward and intuitive interface, which allows you to create custom commands for the most frequent commands. Caching directories speeds up browsing FTP sites. Bookmarks allow you to quickly switch between FTP locations. Overall, FlashFXP is a solid pick for managing small sites.
