At the moment i am using an fireftp addon for firefox that lets you use ftp.

You could always try filezilla aswell. http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

SmartFTP is another free one.

Although these days I use SFTP/SCP with WinSCP.

I also recommend SmartFTP. I've also used coreFTP and didn't like its gui that much.

Filezilla is great... but what's up with not being able to CLICK AND DRAG to and from the desktop?...

Are they every going to fix (or add) that? :confused:

I'm pretty sure this is a "feature" of the newer version (3.x) try using the older version 2.2.x here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21558

I'm currently using 2.2.30, which does not support click and drag.

Are you saying the new version 3.x supports click and drag?

I think filezilla is a great free ftp client, but for a program that claims to be "intuitive" it definitely misses the mark. I want to click and drag, that's an intuition for me. As much as I love the command line, when I see a GUI with a cursor I can't help myself... I know I'm not the only one.

Another vote for FireFtp. The author does ask for small donations.
