Best FTP software!

Warpy · Nov 13, 2003, 03:49 PM

Those of you that use FTP software, please write down your favourite and reasons why!! I need a good FTP program! Freeware or shareware will do.

***Zardon*** · Nov 13, 2003, 04:36 PM

smartftp is a good free one. www.smartftp.com

I use cuteftp pro, due to the good SSH implementation. (but its expensive).

wertret · Nov 13, 2003, 04:40 PM

The best i've tried is without dubt is cute ftp pro, if you have the money

Warpy · Nov 13, 2003, 04:49 PM

I have been experimenting with WSFTP PRO 8.0 and its not bad, but the interface is a little cheap looking i think. Cute FTP is something I have never tried, I'll download the shareware version tonight and test. Thanks chaps!

I always liked Cute FTP but as Zardon mentioned it is not cheap....bulletproof ftp is also ok

I agree, I also dont like the interface of WSFTP, Cute pro is by far the best. ive tried almost every FTP client out there over the years.

Yep, gotta be Cute or Bullet, Cute get's mine because holding site details is much easier than in Bullet

Warpy · Nov 13, 2003, 06:21 PM

Convinced!!!! CuteFTP it shall be, the good old visa card will be in need i think!

Hey Tek.. do you know a way of exporting your servers out to a text file or something similar so one can use it with other FTP clients?

I just started using SmartFTP a few weeks ago. I like it and it does the job just fine.

tek · Nov 15, 2003, 02:40 PM

You can export your server list and import it to another installation of FlashFXP. But you cant export the list and import it into a different FTP client, because different FTP clients have different codes of txt to save servers.

PoopyTheJ · Nov 15, 2003, 03:03 PM

Filezilla, free, powerful, awesome.

Zulan · Nov 28, 2003, 08:28 AM

FlashFXP for life, best FTP/FXP program there is

Warpy · Nov 28, 2003, 09:06 AM

why?

Spyro124 · Nov 28, 2003, 09:08 AM

FlashFXP is a nice program, because it easely allows you to transfer files between servers if those servers have fxp enabled ofcourse and the user interface is very nice and easy.

Markius · Dec 29, 2003, 08:38 AM

yep funkey, i use FlashFXP also

I have used several of them listed here.......I prefer CuteFTP Pro, it is easy to learn and user friendly. I just didn't realize it was expensive!!

WildChild · Jan 5, 2004, 07:04 PM

dorkz · Jan 9, 2004, 04:31 AM

Aye SmartFTP is a good choice as It's free and reliable. We use it at college. I tend to use CuteFTP Pro at home.
