Hi,
Does anyone know of a good free FTP program? I've been using free trials until now!
Thanks!

FileZilla would be your best bet.

http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

Have you tried the FTP Extension for Firefox? Saw it the other night -- it looks quite intriguing. :)

:D Bailey

Smartftp is another good alternative if you find you dont like filezilla.

You can get them both at download.com

Also, if you think you may want to buy one, cuteftp is the choice, the best ftp software i have used yet. Has 30 day trial too.

Happily using ALFTP (http://altools.net), fast easy and free...
Also their zip tool is alot better than winzip and winrar

Don't you just edit the Reg. and reset your 30day trial Lane? LOL J/K..

I definitely second filezilla.
Best FTP application ever!

WinSCP is really nice AND secure.

Fairly easy to find a free one, the most commonly used in our office right now:

SmartFTP - Solid, reliable, been around for a good number of years. Time limited trial which does not "expire" however leaves a popup every time you load it up. Decent interface which is easy to understand - also Queued downloads make large files easier to manage.

Filezilla - Similar functionality to Smart, very reliable and a favourite in the office here.

FireFTP - Ideal if your a Firefox user, plugs in a neat little application straight to your browser, you can also tell it to load the "ftp://" url type automatically.

Thanks everyone! I have found what I needed. Good to know those are out there!

Glad you found what you are looking for.

I still use the ancient LeechFTP.

Fliezilla is a great one

So which one did you choose?

Filezilla, I love it

used to be good until they released a new version (8 or 9..I dont remember). and it is not even free now.

I use FileZilla now.

I have not used the FTP client from http://coffeecup.com in a long time but it used to be pretty good.

The Coffee Cup FTP client I believe is called cuteFTP, used to use that ages ago.

I use firezilla and smartFtp and like both of them equally :)

Filezilla is indeed nice.

Filezilla is awesome, as it can do SFTP, and a whole lot of other cool things.

FireFTP is an excellent package. I have it myself, and use it frequently becaue it's convenient. The only problem is that queing lots of files is hard, but that is a bit complicated for it I think.

I am curious what you chose.

I use FTP Commender, can be found here:

If you have a mac, transmit is good. It is a full featured trial with no trial period as far as I have found. Wierd I know...

SmartFTP - Solid, reliable, been around for a good number of years. Time limited trial which does not "expire" however leaves a popup every time you load it up.

Just for some clarity - the popup is not an ad but rather a "reminder" that you can purchase the software.

I highly recommend SmartFTP. It does have it's issues from time to time but it's nothing major.

I use Filezilla too. Never had any problems with it.

I couldn't agree more !

my vote for filezilla

Smart FTP is my choice. Easy to use.

I recommend Smart FTP as well.

I use WS_FTP

I'm a FileZilla fan too!

But you can use IE as well.

'Total commander', works for me.
