In the summer of 1998, Charles DeWeese (nicknamed flashd/bigstar) was hanging out with friends on Internet Relay Chat. Around April, a few of his friends suggested he create an FXP client because the existing FXP clients weren't very reliable. After a few weeks of tossing ideas back and forth, he decided that his next project would be an FXP client. DeWeese started developing MyFXP in Visual Basic 4, but he soon realized that Visual Basic fell short in many areas. A friend, the author of LeapFTP, suggested that he use Borland Delphi. Therefore, DeWeese switched to Borland Delphi 4. Although the original name was MyFXP, the program was later renamed to FlashFXP, and on June 24, 1998, FlashFXP was started. Nearly a month later, on July 23, 1998, FlashFXP 1.0 was released.
Version 1.2 was the first shareware version of FlashFXP.
Version 2.0 was a significant milestone for FlashFXP by providing SSL/TLS support.
By 2003, FlashFXP became successful. As a result, DeWeese was unable to keep up with the development, support, and sales by himself. He later signed an exclusive deal with iniCom Networks, Inc and released version 3.0.
In late 2009, FlashFXP became part of the newly formed Opensight Software, LLC, which DeWeese is sole owner of. Sales are fully automated via share-it, PayPal, and the FlashFXP website, although support is provided by the developer and other people at the support forums.
Version 4.0 included additional functionality, advanced features and has been reviewed as being more extensive compared to free FTP clients.[2]
The last version of FlashFXP was released on April 1, 2017. In May 2017, DeWeese was arrested, charged and pled guilty for federal exploitation of a minor.[4] He was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison.[5]
