PC-Mac-Net FileShare v4.5 roars onto MacOS, Windows and Linux


ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA -- May 11, 2005 -- Lava Software is now shipping PC-Mac-Net FileShare v4.5, a product which allows users to transfer documents, MP3s, family movies, photo collections and other files easily and securely between all varieties of MacOS, Windows, and Linux computers across LANs, across cities and across the world.


This major upgrade doubles file transfer speeds whilst using very little computing power. New features include fast reconnection to previous users, transfer of file permissions, bandwidth load balancing, more responsive transfer speed readings, enhancements to the MacOS Classic version, better monitoring of incoming remote user connections, and various optimizations and bug fixes. It is a free upgrade for all users.


Setup has also been simplified, with users generally able to share files within minutes of installation. On home and small office networks, all users on the network are automatically found and displayed, ready for file sharing. To share files over the Internet, in most cases users simply enter the same workgroup name and are connected together within seconds. To ensure security, all access to files and file information is protected by strong 896-bit encryption.


The free Lite Edition has a 10mb file size limit, supports workgroups with up to 3 users and can be downloaded now from http://www.lavasoftware.com. Versions are available for Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP, MacOS X (including ‘Tiger’), MacOS Classic (from MacOS 8.6 upwards) and Linux (i86). The Standard and Professional Editions have no file size limits, support large workgroups, and offer some additional features.


Lava Software is currently offering a 2-for-1 special for individual licenses of the Standard and Professional Editions - for each license you order, you get an extra one free. The Standard Edition is priced at USD24.95 and the Professional Edition is USD39.95. Professional Edition site license packs are also available, starting at USD299.00 (20-user). Free upgrades for one year are included in the price.
