Right now I'm using leapftp, and I absolutely love it! :love:
The edit command is really nifty :D
Anyhow, what's your favorite?

WS-FTP for sure...

Ugly as hell, but a real little workhorse that's never let me down. Right-Click chmod is a god-send

Has you tried CuteFTP Pro?
Is it a lot better.

CuteFTP is my fav, leapftp next. The pro version of CuteFTP annoyed me, can't remember why, but it did.

I needed it once to move a site from server to server and got hooked on it....

Can I vote for scp? I have this strange dislike for the idea of sending my passwords in plaintext over hostile networks.

I cant stand Ws_Ftp stoopid log files. They piss me off a lot! :angry:

I use CUTEFTP...what is SecureFX? Is there a secure FTP client that does not send user info as clear text?

Thanks

I thought my version was CuteFTP pro... but I'll check, and upgrade if it's not.

Thanks

Why pay for something you can get for free? There are many scp front-ends which are free, and some of them are even open source as well.

I use CuteFTP, but will check out CuteFTP Pro.

I voted for Other on accident though, lol. Finger was clicking happy.

SmartFTP
It's free, & can have two simultaneous connections, so I can move directly from one server to another. SO much better than downloading and re-uploading on a 56k :D

omg lovelie, so you don't have to login via ssh, open up the crappy ftp program, recreate all folders, and download that way? I wish i had known that during our last transfer!

(edited due to memory going bad... just remembered what actually happened)

Ahem. Last time I used SmartFTP and decided to test out the site to site transfer it deleted all the files instead of transferring them. After that I stuck with cuteftp & leapftp.

For me, a tie between WS_FTP and WinSCP.
