    I'm having fits with both FTP clients and know that part of the issue is wireless connection however, I use both Filezilla and WinSCP3 which ever catches faster on any given day. I'm wondering if these are the all time preferred clients for you all or if anyone knows anything better that cooperates with wireless connections?

    I hate having to go through my Cpanel but it's proving to be the quickest for me when loading WP, Joomla or Vbulletin files but hate it because I can't transfer in bundles... really could use some advice on this and apologize if it's already been discussed but my brief search results eluded me in finding the answer.

    For me it is Filezilla all the way, open source and updated regularly and full of features and functions. Frankly I can't find a better one, even among the commercial ftp software.

    Filezilla has been the tool I have used. It is simple to use and always works for me.

    I use Total Commander because it's easy to use, and I use it also for other work on my computer since it has a lot of features.

    If you are using wireless connection, try cuteFTP. Seems to work fine over here.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look at them all as wireless is just not working well with Filezilla for me here and what took my friend 5 minutes on the other side of the country today took me 3 days. Totally insane so gonna look at those suggestions or break down and go hard line.. thanks!

    WinSCP is great SSH client, a better alternative than Putty, but when it comes to FTP I prefer the built-in client that comes with Total Commander, www.ghisler.com
