FTP Programs | which are your favorites?

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I did a quick search and didn't find anything.

I'm pretty sick and tired of WS_FTP Pro (V9).

Features I need:

-Allows multiple site windows.

-Default site settings.

-Navigation history

-ADJUSTABLE ADRESS/LOCATION BAR SIZE

I've tried 3D-FTP and Cute and they were ok.

 

People really shouldn't be using FTP anymore. Having a FTP server running on your server is really insecure - all the major FTP daemons have atrocious back-records for security vulnerabilities.

 

So which programs do you like?

 

If you have SSH on your server you can use a SFTP (Secure FTP) client.

I rarely use windows, so I don't have any good suggestions for a client.

Edit: When I do use windows for SFTP transfers I use WinSCP, but it doesn't really have the funtionality you are after.

 

I use WinSCP as well, it is pretty handy, but I too wish for more. If I could copy (control 'c') the directory path, that would be handy for when I am working on something and going back and forth from my ssh to sftp.

I would also be interested in hearing what others are using for sftp.

I bought Voyager from Rhinosoft. I have also been testing CoreFTP. I had a need to CHMOD several hundred gallery albums and the feature "Recursive CHMOD" only seemed to come with paid versions. I had been using the formerly free version and find the paid ones to be much more intuitive.

 

I was also a long-time WSFTP fan but later versions just don't cut it.

I recently discovered AceFTP Freeware v 3.61 -- fast and functional. There's also a Pro version -- not sure what advantages there are over the freeware version.

 

smartftp is free for personal use. It's not bad. I almost never use ftp, so it does the job when I need it.

 

I use Filezilla with pretty good success.
Open Source, FTP/SFTP, free of course. I don't know if it has all the features you need, but it might be worth checking out.

 

I love Voyager by Rhinosoft. I think it's one of the best ftp applications available.

 

Three issues really bother me with FileZilla
i.) Frequent .xml file corruption - so backup your file often
ii.) Cannot drag files to upload into it
iii.) Does not recognize All FTP servers i.e., WinXP FTP - use SmartFTP for this.

On the positive site... It's threaded and if your server allows it... Very very fast.
and I use it when I am in a hurry.

 

Total Commander is my favourite it does everything great for webmasters it's free and I think available on download.com

 

mc classic
best feature - online ftp editing

 

I use both the FileZilla client and the server. I haven't had any issues with corruption or not being able to connect.

 

I like the Cute FTP Pro, & FTP Expert.
The Best Ftp Applications.

 

FileZilla is free..and its constantly updated. I think its the best

 

I'm currently using filezilla, though i used to use, and prefer cute FTP

 

I am using CuteFTP, from the last about 3years. & I am loving it

 

CuteFTP Pro is better

I like filezilla too... it's great for the price (free). CuteFTP is a great alternative though
