7-zip 4.60

7-zip 4.60 is a file compression software. It can open most common file format, e.g. zip, rar, jar, tar, tz, ... etc.

7-zip also provided it's own file compression format, (.7z). The website mentioned that this format can provide higher compression ratio. I have not used this format in my environment. I think it is not yet popular that the client side support is still not enough.

There is Plug-in and you can integrate & customize 7-zip into Windows' context menu.

The operation is easy and you will learn it easily if you used winzip/winrar before.

FileZilla 3.1.2

FileZilla 3.1.2 is a common ftp tools that allows you to upload/download a large amount of files to a ftp server.

You can also setup you own ftp server easily by the FileZilla server version.

You can use this solution to setup a ftp server in your home. And you can transfter your files easily from company to home or from home to company.

You can also share your files to your friends/colleague under different location.

Though due to large size email services (e.g. Google Mail/Hotmail) and large size USB memory, this software still good for files of large size.
