What FTP Client?

Brady Kelly

Thanks, but I've just found FireFTP, which is a Firefox add-on. It seems pretty OK so far, but I've downloaded filezilla should I find prolems.

FireFTP has everything I've ever needed in an FTP client. Highly recommended.

It looks very, very good so far.

Filezilla, it's a great tool, nice and easy and very very reliable

I've noticed it has problems with file listings that are VERY VERY long. But other than that, it's the best. At least, best of the free.

I've used WS_FTP (ipswitch.com) for years. It did what I needed it to.

I second/third Filezilla (works on Mac OS now too.) I tried FireFTP awhile back. It seemed fine but I found having it part of Firefox just caused problems (accidental closing of tabs, other websites crashing Firefox and killing FireFTP and Firefox has never been fast to load so when I wanted to quickly FTP something it was quicker to fire up Filezilla.)

cheers, Paul M. Watson.

Always does what it promises on Windows or Linux, good throughput.

I use the free ftp client from www.coffeecup.com[^]. It does just fine for my needs.

I used to use SmartFTP but they recently went shareware instead of freeware. It is still probably the best FTP client on the market if you don't mind payin a few bucks for it. Before that I used CuteFTP but abandoned it after finding SmartFTP and forgot about it when I was searching for a replacment the other day. I now use Filezilla which seems very good except I don't really like the way the queue works when you add directories (it searches each directory when adding and adds each file instead of just saying "when you want to transfer the queue, I'll grab every file that is there at the time"). It took me almost as much time to create my file queue as it did to actually transfer the files when I copied my website (which includes a phpbb install) to my local harddrive last weekend.

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

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.

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:
