What is WormholeFTP, and what does it do?
WormholeFTP is an FTP file uploader that greatly streamlines the process of uploading files to a commonly-used FTP directory. With WormholeFTP, you just drag files over the wormhole, wait for the file(s) to upload, and then copy-and-paste the automatically-generated web link(s) into a friend's chat window, your web-browser, or anywhere else you might need it!

Why should I use this program?
If you upload files to a web server on a regular basis, you probably use a program like Filezilla, CuteFTP, or FireFTP to get your files uploaded and online. I discovered that whenever I wanted to get a file uploaded to share with a friend, I'd have to go through the following 15-step process:

  1. Open the FTP program
  2. Select the server I want to connect to
  3. Wait for the FTP program to connect to the server
  4. Navigate into a subfolder on the server
  5. Find the directory I want to upload files from on the left pane of the FTP program
  6. Drag a file from the left pane and drag it onto the right pane
  7. Wait for the file to upload
  8. Click on the file I just uploaded
  9. Hit F2 on the keyboard, then Ctrl+C to copy the name of the file the clipboard
  10. Open up Firefox
  11. Type the domain name and subfolder into the address bar
  12. Hit Ctrl+V to paste the file name to the end of URL
  13. Hit Ctrl+A to select the entire URL
  14. Hit Ctrl+C to copy the URL to the clipboard
  15. Paste the link to whoever requested the file I just uploaded*
  16. *Repeat steps 8-15 for each file you uploaded

Chances are that you go through a similar process whenever you want to get files online. Fortunately, I found a way to automate many of those steps; that way became WormholeFTP! Here's the same process described above performed in 1/3 of the time with this application:

  1. Open up WormholeFTP
  2. Drag the file you want to upload over the main window
  3. Wait for the file to upload
  4. Right-click on the link to the file that is automatically created when the file uploads and click "Copy to Clipboard..."
  5. Paste the link to whoever requested the file*
  6. *Repeat steps 4-5 for each file that was uploaded

If you like to work smarter and not harder, then WormholeFTP is for you!
