Although I have seen the query on these forums before the answer is still the same FileZilla it is fast and it is free right at this link and you should be just fine. There are others but on my machines that is the only FTP client, plus I have FileZilla Server on my machine for testing purposes.

What ftp software do u use? im dying to find out which is best.

I assume that you mean an FTP client, not a server.

I'm not sure that there's one that's best. You have to find one which suits your needs and tastes. I like WS_FTP Pro, mainly because the synchronization gadget is very flexible, and thus well suited both to making backups and to emergency restores. I also like having a pretty active user-to-user support list, as well as more conventional support.

WS_FTP Pro is certainly not free for people who use it to maintain profit-making sites, and may not be free for anyone any more. If you have no strong preference, don't forget that there are a lot of free FTP clients around.

I use AceFTP, it's a pretty good FTP client. The interface is clean and user-friendly, seldom screw up often, it's reliable and connects and deconnects fast. The free version shows an ad whenever you exit the program though.

If you search properly you will find very good threads running this topic already.
But for time being I would like to say that Filezilla, SmartFTP and ACEFTP arew good among the free ones.

Don't forget CuteFTP. It's absolutely not free, but it still has a good interface. I'd rather go for the free FileZilla though

I use AceFTP and it works the best for me. I have been using it for 1 year or so and had no problems with it.

Because of the need to upload or download multiple files at a time, FileZilla is the best FTP manager for the job!! You can allow up to 10 file upload / download at a time, quickening up the job by the truckload if you have broadband connection. I was pretty amazed at how quick it happened!!

Trust me, the connection for uploading was not that fast but still... 10 files at a time meant "no problemo"!!

Get FileZilla right now, today. Search with Google...

I use FTP Voyager www.ftpvoyager.info, it works comfortable, so I felt no need to try out other programs. Sometimes I simply use Internet Explorer instead of an extra client.

I'm using cuteftp... at least not bad... actually , i only use very little part of it

[Retaining]

If nothing else, just open an explorer window (in Windows, of course) and just type in the url (make sure you prefix it with ftp://) and you have a basic graphical FTP client right there. It's not the best, but if you just want to cut-and-paste 1 or 2 files it's quick and easy.

good software FTP flashFXP

I still think that it would be helpful if everyone who writes in this thread makes it clear whether he is talking about an FTP client or FTP server. Otherwise, it forces us to go hunt for the information, which the author of the post already has.

I would definetely have to say that SmartFTP is the best. I mean, it offers so much more variety and resources that other FTP servers. Plus it is free so you don't have to buy a professional one because it is already professional!

If you want other hosts I would try CuteFTP because that is also good but you have to buy the full version.

Another free FTP server that is the full version is FileZilla. It is also good but I don't think it's much compared to SmartFTP.

I mean just type the Address in the Internet Explorer as :

ftp://11.11.11.11

and thats it ....
Everything works fine in my case ...

I agree, Window's Default FTP is much simpler. For one thing, you don't have to wait for the FTP software to load. Also, you can use the FTP windows as a normal explorer window, making transfers and deletions much simpler.

There is a command prompt version of that too (ftp), but I doubt anyone uses that.

smartftp takes d cake in my case

[romyo]

AceFTP is a really good program with also some quite advanced option, it's not so direct like Flashfxp that I personally prefer but it's a good choice, it's all about what do you need.. otherwise ther's always space for the cmd client
