Which FTP Client would u recommend?
 

Hi all!|waves|

I've been using CofeeCup Free FTP for quite some time but something happened to it and I'm now unable to upload my FSs to my server so, instead of busting my ignorant head to fix whatever problem is present, I think it might be time for a new FTP client.

I'm looking for freeware if possible (my finances are a bit shaky right now...) but will gladly pay if your advice will point in that direction:

Which FTP client do you use and would you recommend?

Thank you and all the best!

P.S. A friend is recommending WS_FTP which has a 30 days free trial but costs about $80 w service agreement...

They offer a trial version but I use CuteFTP home at something like $30-$40 for the licence

I use Interarchy but it is Mac only.

WS_FTP is probably what you want. Even if you have to pay a little after 30 days.

i use WS_FTP95LE since i started this bizz, it said 30 day trial, but after six years i still use it for free......i guess a very long trial:D

Bad girl! ;)

I've been using the free version of Cute even longer...lol

Bad bad Surfn|boobies|

I've always used Cute FTP :)

I started with cute ftp then had a hard drive crash and lost my free trial that never seemed to expire.

Then I used WS_FTP for a month untill there free trial expired.
I then bought Cute FTP because I like it more than WS_FTP

Another nod for Cute, here. Easy to use, and pretty full featured. Well worth the $30-$40 to reg it after the trail is over.

believe me i would pay for WS_FTP, i cant believe something is easier then that one, log in see your domains click on your domain and thats it, but since i dont have to pay for it............who am i to nag then:D

i think Cute anf far FTP is one of the best for use.

I use the newest WSFTP (Pro 2007). Been using it since way back when..... Can't say I've found anything easier. |thumb

|barf| on CuteFTP!

In case there are other Mac readers of this thread, another good ftp program on that platform is Transmit. One thing it does (and maybe other programs do too) is allow me to open two ftp sessions and copy files from one server directly to another with no need to download first and then upload.

FileZilla, its open source, GPL licensed, free, rocks.

http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

Filezilla, indeed, been using it for years.

I had ws_ftple for a few years til i upgraded pc's. Since then i have used coreftp (what i have now) and am not liking it at all.

I am going to buy the newer model of ws ftp, as using core is more pain in the ass then the savings are worth.

I like Filezilla like many of the others.. It is freeware.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=21558

The current version is windows only but the Beta version (3) which works well runs on apple as well as linux. It is highly configuarable and has a very intuitive interface. I highly recommend it.

FileZilla only.

Thank u everyone for your tips!:D

Running Filezilla and it's working great!!! |bananna|
But thanks to your replies I'll know where to turn in case I'll need an alternative for the future.

As usual, the people @ GG&J rock!|headbang|

Be well!

I've been using FTP surfer.. it's free and does the job.

I try to upgrade at least twice a year, but always end up going back to the stable Core FTP lite :)

I use FAR this is more which i like

FileZilla here

I use cuteftppro

I use CuteFTP, WSFTP, CORE FTP, and Smart FTP....I typically use Cute FTP most because it's the one I've always used...Core is pretty good and has a free trial that doesn't expire and Smart is pretty good too...Smart is probably the best, but Cute is my favorite...Smart is good to have around because for some reason, Cute doesn't always show the .htaccess file which you have to edit now and then to turn the global dupes off. That's my two cents...

MS Ftp, yes the console one that comes with Windows

For some reason it kicks the shit out of other FTP clients in terms of upload and download speeds and it's excellent for automating uploads.

Since console FTP isn't always the best solution I also use Filezilla. Quite frankly the number of FTP clients is unbelievable considering that they all do the same thing.

I use Filezilla also.

filezilla, easy and it's got a cool name.

total commander - very easy and fast! :)
+ best file manager

total commander. never let me down so far :)

I started out with CuteFTP, then for a reason I can't recall changed to WS_FTP. I haven't found either to be perfect, though it's been a while since I looked at the latest versions of either. FileZilla is a pretty good application, too, and it's free.

I use CoffeeCup Free FTP http://www.coffeecup.com/freestuff/

I guess it's not too late to say that I burn everything on CD and mail it to my host. They upload it to my box. I never could decide on a FTP software because there are so many to choose from.

FileZilla always !!! it just rox

I think he has found an FTP program after 3 months :)

He could still be weighing his options & wondering if it'd be expensive to mail Useless his files.

i use cute ftp, since ever
