Features

* Download files in any order, from any directory on an FTP site.
* Automatically reconnect and resume from where it left off if the connection is lost, or no data is received for a specified period of time. This works with uploading as well.
* Browse the FTP site from the cache while off line or transferring - this does not open another connection to the FTP server like other FTP clients.
* List hidden files
* Leech mode - on FTP servers that have a specified limit that you can download.
* Bullet Proof FTP can disconnect, reconnect and keep downloading automatically when your download credit runs out.
* Monitor the clipboard, and when an ftp or http (web site) url is copied into it, it can instantly connect to the appropriate site in the background and start transferring.
* Queue files on more than one site for download.
* Proxy/firewall support
* HTTP downloading with support for redirected URLs
* Local file listing with rename/delete/make directory support
* Import site listings from Cute FTP, WS_FTP, and FTP Explorer. With Cute FTP and FTP Explorer, the passwords are also imported.
* Remote mirroring - BPFTP will automatically download new files, resume half-downloaded files, and skip files you already have. You can download entire sites.
* Windows-style file finding ability. ie, enter a wildcard and other details about a file, and BPFTP will search an entire FTP site and download every file that matches.
* no extra support files/ DLLs needed

In July 2002, BulletProof FTP was purchased by DigitalCandle, Inc. of Seattle, WA and operations were moved to the United States.

In July 2007, BulletProof FTP was purchased by BulletProof Software LLC of Seattle, WA and operations were moved to the new location.
