The guys behind Pader Sync let me know about their line of PaderSync line of applications for BlackBerry. Back in the day when Rove offered the free Rove Mobile File Manager client we mentioned that this application was kind of redundant. Now that Rove has removed their free FTP/SFTP client then this application makes more sense. They have five different offerings.
- PaderSyncFTP – Free FTP client for BlackBerry
- PaderSyncSFTP – Commercial SFTP (SSH) client
- PaderSyncSMB – Commercial SAMBA and Windows shares client
- PaderSyncDAV – Commercial WebDAV client
- PaderSyncFM – All of the above included into one commercial client
I still think that Rove Mobile had a better product but the dunces there yanked it… Since it is no longer available I think it is prudent to mention the alternatives. Check them out at www.pader-sync.com
