Best FTP Software?

Post by El Brenty »

What's the best FTP software you've used?

I've been trying out:
- FTP Pro - Great, easy to use, drag and drop, and shows the source and target directories
- Cute FTP Home - Same but slightly more limited.
- DOS FTP - Sucks! You have to transfer 1 file at a time - No way!
- FTP Explorer - Not bad, but you don't have a source window, so it gets a bit fiddly, especially when you've got multiple folders to upload.

Anyone got any better suggestions that won't break the bank? Link to these as well if you can please.

Great stuff! That's the best one I've seen yet - The only one so far that can delete folders with hidden files like a .htaccess file!

I use FlashFXP

FlashFXP FTP Client

I used CuteFTP before but starting having problems with it. Someone mentioned FlashFXP and never looked back.

I agree with Matt. So easy to use, and set out like explorer.
