Filezilla is a secure file transfer program for Windows that is likely
to become I/S supported. I'm going to volunteer for testing this and
will install it on deathtongue. It'll also be useful for any users
using the windows box.

Good morning!
The FileZilla Release Team has finished evaluating and preliminary testing
of FileZilla 1.8.3, a secure file transfer protocol program for
Windows. At this time we wish to extend testing to the MIT community. We
are looking for approximately 20 volunteers who would be able to give a few
hours of their time.
Some issues to consider prior to volunteering:
Available time for active evaluation:
- a 2-3 hour allotment for testing
What we will test:
- installation process
- new features
- integration with dependent applications (kerberos) within the MIT
environment
- usefulness of the on-line help and help features embedded within the
application
- usefulness of the draft MIT documentation.
If you agree to assist, we will provide the following:
- certificate based installer
- draft documentation
- test results reporting form
- help
STANDARD DISCLAIMER:
While we would prefer that you conduct the test on a machine that will
receive regular use, the software you will be testing could cause
unexpected changes to your system. If you do use a production machine, you
should plan to back up before installing the software and frequently during
the testing process
As an alternative, we offer the Integration Laboratory located in N42 for
testing or the Software Release Team Test Lab located in W92. If you would
prefer to test in a lab, please contact me to make arrangements.
If you are interested in assisting with the evaluation, please contact me
by Monday, March 18th. Testing is expected to commence on Wednesday, March
20th and continue for two weeks ending on April 3, 2002.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or, the
FileZilla Release Team (filezilla-release@mit.edu)
