What FTP Client?

[Ed Poore]

The additional one is that there's a portable edition of FileZilla[^]

[Roger Wright]

Filezilla, hands down. :-D

I second that.

The 'ftp' command-line one that comes with Windows, OS X and *nix? Well, that's the one I use, anyway.

[Giannakakis Kostas]

http://winscp.net/eng/index.php[^] can be used as an FTP client.

I use FireFTP too. Does the job. I also use FTP Explorer 1.0 (supplied free by my ISP years ago). Pretty old now but also does the job.

Something wrong with the cmd line ftp? Think that qualifies as free... :laugh:

Yes, it's bitch to use.

I've been using WinSCP for ftp and sftp for a long time. Great client. Flash FXP would be my favorite commercial client.

Filezilla FTW - I just used it over the weekend to transfer close to 500 GB (yes, that is Gigabytes) from a customer site to our data center, several hundred thousand files in all. Great performance, very stable (had it up all weekend without any interruptions) and fast fast fast! I only wish it would allow more than 10 connections to the server because I filled all ten pretty quickly. I did get around the 10 connections limit by running multiple copies, but that's just not the same. I did notice that it couldn't transfer files when the full pathname of the file gets much above 200 characters, but a structure that long has other problems as well.

WinSCP ;P

FireFTP is the client I prefer if I have Firefox; Filezilla is great if I don't. Portable Filezilla can be preconfigured and emailed to other users, or carried on a USB stick. Filezilla Server is very good also.

I've also used SmartFTP (http://www.smartftp.com) als ftp client for a long time. But since it has went to shareware, I've searched for an alternative. So, I'm using the NC like freeCommander (http://www.freecommander.com) now. An FTP functionality has been released since the last major update. It has still only less abilities, but enough for down- and uploading files.

I second this completely.

FileZilla, no reason needed it just rocks, comes in flavours for Windows, Mac and Linux

[Member 4604561]

FTPWanderer is good, also FlashPeak Blaze FTP. Both are free and work with Windows and Unix/Linux.

The tragedy of your times is that you may get exactly what you want!

I have used WS_FTP Pro for ever as well. Currently 2007.11.12. It has a nice simple interface with all the features I can think of to use. It is not FREE but under that threshold of $99 that I usually balk at for utilities. Maybe it should shoot for $49 in the current climate. Incidentally they also have a great TCP/ip Utility Tool, PingPack Pro, that I have used forever as well. It has most protocols and scenarios covered. The only bug I ever found (and my version is not the newest) was, if you open several remote sessions to the same site under certain circumstances the display will not refresh showing the revised directory listing after a download. I just watch for this and reload WS_FTP when it happens - rarely. I tried several other packages but never liked any of them well enough to change, Have not tried FireFTP.
