PyroTrans allows users to manually or automatically exchange files between computers that are connected via ISDN, modem, or Internet. The product is targeted at software developers, users, and companies that require easy and reliable file transfer, either manually or controlled by other software.

The server component PyroServer is typically used in environments that allow multiple users to download files from or send files to the server or multiple users. Users are identified by their usernames and can be verified by passwords. It can be controlled per user if they are allowed to receive and/or send files.

The batch component can be controlled by script files or by other software to initiate a connection and do file transfers in an automated fashion, e.g. for a nightly transmission of company data between the comany and branch offices. The client component PyroClient can manually transfer files via drag and drop in an explorer like window.
