History

wput's history began with an initial version in Summer 2003. Only small amounts of code of this initial version survived to the current ones. Wput is developed by Hagen Fritsch. The program began as a simple file-uploader, but evolved soon, by implementing a wget-like look & feel interface, improving support for common standards in the ftp-protocol and finally by adding encryption capabilities which were rarely seen in ftp programs at the time.

In 2005 the author wrote a documentational work on wput. The current release 0.6 appeared on April 5th, 2006.
