Rocketstream Uplink
home > products > rocketstream > uplink
RocketStream Uplink is a client application that connects to RocketStream Station or RocketStream Server in order to push or pull files. With its intuitive and simple user interface, Uplink requires almost no training to use, but it contains all of the control features necessary to exchange files manually or automatically ... all at rocket speed.
Uplink allows the user to establish multiple connections to RocketStream Servers and RocketStream Stations, provided that the user has access privileges on those target computers. Uplink can then push files to or pull files from the target computers.
Uplink uses the RocketStream Protocol to send and receive files. It offers the option to select the UDP setting for high-bandwidth pipes (typically above 5 Mb/s) or to select the PDP setting when less bandwidth is available or firewalls do not allow proprietary protocols to pass.
Uplink can tune the amount of bandwidth it wishes to use, or it can run at maximum speed. Depending on the amount of bandwidth available, maximum speed can be more than 100x faster than traditional FTP-over-TCP.
Express and Pro versions
RocketStream Uplink comes in Express and Pro versions. While both versions support full on-the-fly data encryption, the Pro version also features an option for on-the-fly compression and decompression of files in transit, further enhancing RocketStream's tremendous speed. RocketStream Uplink Pro can also administer a RocketStream Server.
Uplink Pro also has the ability to automate the file transfer process. File transfer jobs can be scheduled, or Uplink can automatically synchronize to or from a server. Uplink Pro also supports hot folders and mirroring with the server.
