Good FTP software....

Sat Feb 21, 2004 10:25 am

I'm looking for some decent FTP software, preforably free. I'm currently using SmartFTP http://www.smartftp.com and it works pretty well, but I was wondering if there was anything better out there.

FTP Explorer is ok. It is prone to crash at annoying times, however.

I use FlashFXP myself...it's shareware but there are ways around it.

filezilla works nicely and completely free.

Server, client, or both?

SmartFTP is definitely the best IMO.

Client. I'm doing some uber-geek stuff on a Linux server <cough>writing a MUD<cough> and I do my editing in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, then FTP it to the server and compile it with gcc.

Yeah, I like it alot, but I wasn't sure if there was anything else out there. I do quite a bit of queueing files because it's code in different files that I need to compile all at once, and SmartFTP was the best I could find in that regard. Just wasn't sure if I was missing anything.

FTP Voyager. They also make Serv-U FTP server, and you can have encrypted password and encrypted data between the two.

By the way Mulgatroyd, try Ultra-Edit, it's a text editor that has a nifty "Load from FTP" and "Save to FTP" option. You load the file, edit it, and the Save command uploads it back.

BulletProof FTP is by far my favorite, really really really RECOMMEND it
