Following the release of Laplink Gold 12, Laplink releases FileMover for the North American market. FileMover offers the power of Laplink"s world-leading file transfer capabilities and ease-of-use design in a low-cost application. FileMover is a simple but powerful standalone file transfer program that transfers files securely and quickly between PCs via a network, USB or serial cable.

"FileMover was created based on demand from our European customers who were asking us for a tool that transfers files between PCs quickly and easily without the overhead of other Laplink features such as remote control." said Todd Rupley, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Based on the success of FileMover in Europe, we have now made it available in the U.S. as well."

Specific features of FileMover include the classic Laplink dual-pane view of files, rapid transfer of files using patented SpeedSync technology, ease of connection, and enhanced security. The connection wizard quickly walks users through the task of establishing a link between the computers. The connection can then be saved as a One Step Connection, allowing that connection to be reestablished in the future with a single click.

FileMover is available online from Laplink at www.laplink.com. Physical MSRP (includes both a Laplink USB 1.1 and a Laplink serial cable) is US $49.95; the download is just US $39.95.
