Hello Everybody!

I used to use CuteFTP for years since it was considered the best FTP Client. But Now I decided to try other clients!

What is the Best FTP Client that suuports all the protocols (sFTP , SSH1, SSh2, ..) ?

Why change if you're happy with what you have? I also use CuteFTP.

Personally I like WS_FTP Pro (much, much better than the free LE version).

On Unix based OSes, I use gFTP and on Windows I use AceFTP ;)

Both are free and easy to use :)

Hands down the best one by far is FTP Voyager [www.ftpvoyager.com]

I've been using it for years after trying several of the other popular ones around and never looked back.

there isn't really a such thing as best. if you want security then use just ssh with the file transfer option. if you want the a nice GUI interface then there are tons of those. it all depends on what you like and what you need. I use both SSH and CuteFTP i like them both. I usually only use CuteFTP when i'm editing files since it is integrated with CuteHTML to where you can save it straight to your server.

I find CuteFTP a little bit slow than compared to WS_FTP Pro or LE for some reason. The transfer rates are somewhat slower in CuteFTP.

FlashFXP - the bestest ever. Plus you can use SSL to connect ..

SmartFTP is pretty nice.. but lately I have really started to choose FlashFXP (http://www.flashfxp.com) as my main software. Very easy to use and some nice features.
