Removed PROD per WP:PROD (previous AFD exists) Rationale given in PROD was: ''Non-notable software, no references to support the "one of the oldest" claim. Only referenced is self-published by the author.'' Illia Connell (talk) 03:41, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - This is an early FTP client, also known as Winsock FTP. I suspect that good sources could be found in computer magazines from the mid-to-late 1990s. Here is one source that discusses the subject  and here is another . - MrX 04:19, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I added Network World and CNet reviews and two books as independent sources that go into some depth (1-3 pages) about the program. CNet, Network World, and Psychology Press are reliable publishers; I am not sure about the other book.  There are probably plenty more treeware sources that I am unaware of. The multiple reliable sources suggest that the program is notable and that the article should be kept.  --Mark viking (talk) 05:13, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
