Projects
Flexible File Transfer Protocol to Amazon S3, This application uploads the file using the ftp details of the cloud account, when user drags the file into the cloud storage. At the same time, it’s also provides any new files uploaded into the cloud folder of organization to the admin of the site. Sales Management Portal, The project deals with the tracking of the sales made on behalf of the projects that are being handled by the organization. In the current project, there exists three levels of users such as employee, manager and client. Each user with different levels of access will be having different features enabled to them. Apart from this the users will br having authorized access and each user will be checked for role-based access at each page level so that only authorized user will be able to access the feature that are assigned to the user. The web application will be mobile compatible and will be developed using the C#.NET and MS SQL Server.
