Best FTP Client

[zandramas 0]

I have been trying to find some good reliable ftp client that is free. Since I know that WS FTP is no longer freeware, I must now search for something better.I have tried Core FTP, but found that altho it is free, it does have alot of complications. My most used ftp client 2 years ago was WS FTP LE.. I just wanted to say, thanks for posting other names of ftp clients that may be free, that I could check out since I now need a new ftp client to upload or download from.Zandramas.

I ahve to admit ive used SmartFTP for ages and loved it, its free although has a silly message at the start. it works great and ive never had any toruble with Smart fTP in my years of use with it. WS ftp was good but i love my Smart fTP the most. Just my 2 cents.

I think smartFTP is the best because:1. It's an easy/simple layout to use2. You can click and drag3.It has a free trial that you don't ever have to pay for if you don't want

SmartFTP! You can just drag files and you can edit files from the program. That's nice when you are modding for IPB!

I have always liked LeapFTP. Simple, easy, fast, but not a lot of frills. mainly I used it cause it just did what I needed to when I needed an FTP client back in the day.

i reccomond AceFTP. it can be downloaded freely and registration is also free. you only need your email address. you dont get advertisements too in it. i think it is the best.do u know we can use DOS for ftp ? just type 'ftp' in command prompt and press enter, and then type 'help' in ftp> prompt that you get.

yeah, you can use the windows command line for FTP stuff, but its really a pain. just about any gui ftp client is better than that.

Few months ago I started using Filezille and I gotta say I love it. In addition to all it's greatness it is open source.

Hi buddy

 

There are lots of Free Open source FTP Clients are available over the net

have a look at these

 

1) WinSCP (winscp.sourceforge.net)

2) SmartFTp

3) JFTP (Java Version fo FTP)

 

WinSCR is having Norton commander , and Exploreer like look and Feel , with drag and drop option , plus SSH authentication support also.

 

Cheers

, why use FTP anyways? I use SSH to maintain my site, is easier, because you don't have to do the "open-edit-save-upload routine" but a "open-edit-save-done routine", just mail the support to enable your SSH thingy and get putty (ssh client). On topic, best ftp manager for me is total commander, it's a file manager, decompression-tool too. Too bad it's shareware.

I use LeechFTP, it's not made any more, but you can find it on download.com

What do you think is the best FTP client?

 

I use SmartFTP and CuteFTP. Out of the two, CuteFTP is good. SmartFTP does not allow you to upload a whole folder.

I gave COREftp a try, but found it difficult to configure the connection information. When trying to connect with the client it would give me invalid login errors on some sites, but if I went to the site and used the same credentials I could log in with no problems. I am sure it's some configuration with the COREftp client, but I couldn't figure it out.

 

I saw the post for Firezilla, open source, I think I will have to try and find that one. Thanks for the suggestion.

ive tried a few but found that CuteFTP is MY favoritenice script editor on CuteFTP. Suites my needs perfectly

I use WS_FTP LE, but as was said, they don't use that anymore. If you get desperate, usually hosting come with either an FTP client or a file manager that can do the same things. CuteFTP is good, but it's not free; same thing with WS_FTP Pro.
