About FTP Today

After four years working for others, Martin Horan chases the entrepreneurial dream by starting his own data entry business. HDS builds a strong base of data entry customers by focusing on the Marketing Research industry.

HDS finds a niche in converting data from mainframe tapes to floppy disks for various operating systems and leads the Media Conversion market for the next 20 years.

Dialup Internet access spreads. The World Wide Web begins to catch on as the Netscape browser is launched.

Horan Data Internet becomes one of Cincinnati Ohio's first dial up access and web hosting providers. The dialup business is later sold to Mindspring in order to concentrate on services such as web hosting and dedicated Internet access.

Recognizing a void of multi-user FTP/SFTP services in the web hosting marketplace, Horan begins researching hardware and software technology that he can use to offer hosted FTP and SFTP.

Three dozen Sun Cobalt appliances later, FTP Today moves operations to custom built dedicated servers in Silicon Valley and licenses VPS control panel software from Sphera.

FTP Today selects Peak 10 Cincinnati as it data center partner for its next generation infrastructure.

Re-engineered on VMware and a custom hardware and software stack, FTP Today migrates all customers to its new platform, which includes its new Site Admin control panel.

With 90% of its revenue and nearly 100% of its profits coming from FTP Today, Horan Data Services eliminates its data entry and media conversion businesses.

Peak 10 selects Louisville for major cloud expansion. FTP Today begins planning a future migration to Peak 10's infrastrusture-as-a-service (IaaS) Enterprise Cloud.

Using a temporary Ethernet Private Line between two data centers, FTP Today successfully performs a live migration of all customer FTP sites and data from Peak10 Cincinnati co-location to Peak10's Enterprise Cloud IaaS in Louisville.

The first version of FTP Today's Web App is released into production. Based on HTML5, the Web App offers file transfer within a Web browser without the aid of plugins such as Java.

FTP Today releases a major update to its proprietary Web App with a new look and feel and additional features.

With FTP Today's new file sharing feature, dubbed InfiniShare, authenticated users can share secure links to their downloadable files with anyone — no username or password required.

FTP Today greatly enhances site, user and folder administration. With the release of version 3.0, all admin and browser-based file transfer are combined in a single app.

Built to share sensitive data with the most stringent U.S. government security and compliance requirements, such as FedRAMP, ITAR and DoD IL4 workloads. FTP Today partners with Rackspace Government Solutions to host the GOVFTP Cloud for federal agencies and government contractors.
