Any good FTP program that doesn't corrupt files?

    I need to backup my site which has thousands of images, and last time I did this I lost many of those images because my ftp prog (filezilla) corrupted a lot of files without me even noticing..
    Now, is there an ftp client which will not fuck up my files every time I back them up? :p

    It was probably just a dud transfer, and not the program. I've never had issues with Smart FTP.

    filezilla works great for me. Check out your settings (ansi, utf, unix, win) and ascii or bin ;)

    I use Smart FTP sometimes but mainly use the builtin FTP on Dreamweaver.

    I would also have to agree it was just a dud transfer, and not the program.

    I also prefer CuteFTP, I only like it if it's the Professional version though. Otherwise I go with SmartFTP, which has a pretty nice interface.

    IE7 still sucks, the css support is only slightly better than IE6, but firefox still beats the crap out of it :p

    There are bigger problems in firefox than CSS support in IE, for starter Memory leak issue..
    I am not against firefox, infact its my default browser at my office. but IE7 is more secure and robst than firefox.
