Need a good FTP program

[saskganesh]

So I need a good FTP program. something easy. free of course.

watcha got?

Is WS_FTP still around (and free)?

I haven't needed to FTP in years, come to think of it.

[saskganesh]

check. I think so.

we have a new host, so I gotta do some work.
they are recommending one of the following:

Cute FTP
Smart FTP
WS_FTP
FlashFXP
LeapFTP
FTP Voyager

if you just need a command line interface I like psftp.  Simple and fast.

I've used both WS_FTP and Cute FTP, both are ok if a little clunky in places.

Around 2004, I used to use SecureFX, I can't really say much about it. It got the job done?

[saskganesh]

its been years myself, so I have to relearn what I have forgotten.

looks like WS_FTP is only a  30 day trial.

[garbon]

looks like WS_FTP is only a  30 day trial.

Just looked. Secure FX is the same way.

[saskganesh]

hmm. so is Cute FTP. the 30 day thing.

[garbon]

FileZilla is free but I can't vouch for it.

[saskganesh]

anyone use Fireftp? it's free.

maybe I can do my work using WS_FTP's 30 day trial, then rely on firezilla or fireftp once I get the hang of FTPing again.

FileZilla is opensource and I found it quite good. http://filezilla-project.org/

WinSCP3 is good for a windows based tool.

[saskganesh]

thanks guys.

boy, all these GUI screenshots I am looking at are making my head spin a bit

[Grey Fox]

File Zilla usually does the trick.
