I would like know what FTP clients you would recommend to me. I used Ipswitch WS_FTP and CuteFTP. Which can you recommend to me?

RE: FTP Clients by user35870 on 04-27-2006 at 05:20 PM

I would suggest SmartFTP I use it and its pretty good (Y).

Cuteftp was great, but my trail ran out. I use SmartFtp V1.5 (I hate 2.0).

I never have really looked into the ftp market much mind you, you maybe should search a good comparison website ;)

I also would suggest SmartFTP (Y)

bah, i found smartFTP kept crashing my conection to my server, so i used FileZilla which has given me no problesm whatsoever :)

RE: FTP Clients by ins4ne on 04-27-2006 at 05:55 PM

yeah of course... sometimes that can happen... even the best & the most expensive program has its bugs...

May I suggest NetDrive?

It's something like an FTP client "without" a GUI (read below why I have enclosed without in quotes)

Actually, it's not without a GUI:
You enter your FTP username and password, and it mounts a vitrual drive.
That drive is can be accessed from "My Computer" or every program that allows you to choose where to save your file.

You can use it like a normal HDD: You can copy files from it, paste files to it, delete files from it etc...

When you open file a file, it displays a dialog saying how much of the file has been downloaded, and when you put a file in it, it also displays a dialog of how much of the file has been uploaded, including the estimated time it will take to upload/download the file, and the download/upload speed.


I use NetDrive to direcly upload the files to my webserver (thanks to dt :P) without the need to first save the file to my HDD, and then use an FTP client to upload the file to my server... :)


And NetDrive is also free!

I use it, and I never had any problems with it :)

So, I highly recommend this program if you usually upload updated files to your server, but you hate having to save the files to your HDD first.
