Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have used SmartFTP before, in fact my brother uses it, but I just can't seem to fall in love with it like some people.
I am currently using FlashFXP, which is not free, but there is a 30-day trial, so I am giving it a go. So far, I seem to be getting along with it very nicely. Thanks for the suggestion chris!
Now I just need a server. My mate uses GuildFTPd so I think that's worth a go. Am yet to find anywhere that gives clear indications what's good and bad in these areas.
Thanks again chaps
