Rumpus pro mac8/23/2023 Email questions are responded to in a timely and courteous manner and that says a lot to me. If I paid myself for the time spent diddling with other solutions I more than paid for this several times over. While its certainly not "cheap" I do believe the old addage that you "get what you paid for" holds true. Saves everyone the frustration and I don't have to bear multi megabyte files choking my email system. Now I can send a link to people and point them via browser and not have to explain for the millionth time what FTP is. (Like you've never run across these people before!) This makes the FTP client/support issue a moot point. The Web management interface is a big plus for end users who haven't a clue about FTP clients etc. Group folders, where you can assign users their particular access privileges, is a nice bonus. The interface is clear, logical, and consistent as far as any FTP server is concerned. Rumpus installs quickly, cleanly, and you can install it on a remote machine on the LAN etc. Man, am I ever glad I did! I've precious little time to fiddle with configurations and Rumpus allowed me to get to work with less downtime (read.money!) and frustration (i.e. Having used some free, and other paid FTP solutions, I found the Rumpus demo and decided to "give it a try". The most amazing thing about Rumpus is the developer - 7X24 around-the-clock support! If you are unfamiliar with basic networking and are afraid to learn, then you should consider hiring someone who can set it up for you. Other than that, it is easy to administer once you have it up and running. For example, if you do not have a static IP address, and some understanding of DNS settings, you should allow for a bit of time to get things working. The reason for this is not that the product is overly complicated (it isn’t), but rather that some knowledge of server provisioning is needed in order to get it working. The only thing that I can say would be a slight barrier for the average user, would be that some technical knowledge and a little patience is required in order to set it up. I paid for it, and continue to pay for every paid upgrade because it is absolutely worth it! Of the over 150 paid applications on my HD, Rumpus is at the top of the list to keep current. Yeah, I seen some posts where users whine about the cost. If you are a small business or consumer and are paying for MobileMe, Dropbox, or any other on-line file syncing/storage solution, Rumpus deserves your consideration. It is so solid, that I never hesitate to install a beta. The developer is simply outstanding, and the product is pure gold. If you are a business of any size, the price is truly “a drop in the bucket”. The use cases for this application are only limited by your creativity and imagination. Well, in the case of Rumpus, once you start using it, the light bulb will continually go off. Rumpus is one of those things that you may have around your home or office and never fully grasp the full value until the light bulb goes off. I have owned Rumpus since late 2007, but started using it in 2008.
