FTP client recommendations

[http]

FlashFXP: breaks up on large uploads and isn't able to resume for some reason

WS_FTP: Seems to use all my DOWNstream,too , even though I am just UPloading. So I cannot surf when uploading


What FTP client do you recommend other than WS_FTP and FlashFXP?

One that deals well with uploading large files, and is always able to resume broken uploads

FTP Voyager kicks some big ass - I've used it for years with no problem.

FTP Voyager - Dean Capture Approved!

I know you said you had problems with Flash FXP but i've tried just about all of them and it's by far the most solid one out there IMHO. How large of an upload are you doing?

Voyager is decent too but it cost more than fxp

[The Click]

CuteFTP been using the same version for 3 years now.

Another vote for CuteFTP.

If you have a lot of domains, be sure to backup your settings once in a while, though...it's a pain having to re-enter the usernames/passwords if it gets corrupted, etc.

I tried Voyager too but it almost bogs down my computer when starting it up, it's like starting photoshop&dreamweaver&fireworks&10 IE windows at once

FlashFXP used to resume downloads but now it doesn't anymore

My uploads are anywhere from 100MB to 2 GB or so

So it's quite annoying when it won't resume

I'll try AceFTP and BulletproofFTP now I guess

are you on dial up or something? I use WS_FTP95 since '95, and frequently have 6/7 uploades going on at the same time, while using ICQ and surfing at the same time.

Same here!

You'd have to be nuts to ftp to a porn site.

You are sending your username and password in plain text to every fucking hacker on every adjacent server in the data center.

Take 30 seconds and download WINSCP - works perfectly and runs securely over SSH; I upload gigs at a time over it with no dropped files.

cute ftp pro

[bdld]

Cute FTP has worked for years with me

[thumbsdepot]

I just started using core ftp lite it is much better then leech ftp.

[bignasty]

Try ace ftp its what i use. ive had no problems with it.

[iroc409]

i use ws_ftp pro, never have issues, but if you're looking for something else you might try out ncftp. it's a pretty nice CMI client, natively for unix, but there are win versions as well

[Roger]

yep, CuteFTP. I'm too used to it

[shakta]

I use FlashFXP in SSL mode, big files are ok, timeouts are ok, and resuming in up/downloading is working fine (even bandwidth limiting)

i am using version 2.1.something.

it's the best client i found for years now that has all those features (and working!) that i need.

if you can get the latest one, and configure it properly, i recommend only that one.

I second this, you're nuts if you don't FTP with SSH, unless you like third parties having unauthorized access to your site.

yeah that's probably how most unskilled "hackers" get access to websites for defacements

[JackRoyal]

Oh, I forgot FileZilla(http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/) It is free and open source. There is also a free and open source server by the same name available.

I would listen to this guy... dont use FTP at all if it can be avoided.. and if you have your own servers remove the ftp daemon from them too..

Download from here free
http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/download.php
(it looks just like an FTP client and any newb can use it)

(It uploads a LOT faster than any FTP client I have ever used too)
