FTP programs..best one?

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-03-2007, 03:31 PM

I've always been a FlashFXP user and always just used the trail and would formate within the time period of the trial.

I've been thinking about just breaking down and buying flashfxp or trying a different one that is free..

I've had a few ppl say that SmartFTP - FTP Client is good so I'm giving it a try.

What do you use ? and have you tried any others.

I started on smartftp, and once i got into scene i used flashfxp, but no more scene, but i still have both installed. mostly use flash though

I use FireFTP a plugin for Firefox. No complaints.

Looks like I might like that one.. I'll check it out when I add FF again.

I loaded the SmartFTP and opened it up, then closed it and went and picked up FlashFXP again

I'll check out the one Adrian said, but I think I'm just so use to the flashfxp that nothing will compare :p

flash fxp is great for coding especially, I hit ctrl + s to save document im working on, alt + tab to go to flash fxp, then alt + t to tranfer over existing file, i have it down to a system

**eric** · 03-03-2007, 11:07 PM

Guess mine will not suit your needs

On Mac I use transmit... kiss principle

**eric** · 03-04-2007, 09:54 PM

here you go : transmit for Mac OS X
not to expensive according me for the quality you get
Works nice, even shows hidden files like .htaccess if you say to, you can edit online for ex if you link it with an editor like Textmate (if you code this is a wonderful extremely powerfull tool)

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-04-2007, 10:08 PM

for 18$ USD, not bad at all.
I might get it for my wife's power book.. she sometimes needs to ftp an image to her site when she makes a post.

**sensimilla** · 03-05-2007, 03:01 AM

FileZilla of course , sometimes Total Commander and FireFTP

**Big Dan** · 03-05-2007, 04:00 AM

For me:

Filezilla on Windows

Since I use Linux most of the time, I use Gnome's bulit in client or gFTP if Gnome doesn't want to play nice with me. :P

**Yvgeniy** · 03-05-2007, 11:06 AM

I use UltraFXP. I don't know how it compares to the other ones since it's the only client I've used, but it's pretty good as far as I'm concerned. Much better than that web client XD

**Brian** · 03-06-2007, 10:35 AM

When I'm using Windows the only thing I use is Filezilla, does everything I need and more.

**James** · 03-09-2007, 10:28 AM

I use SmartFTP, but after checking out this thread I will have to check out some of the others.

**girlgamers** · 03-09-2007, 02:34 PM

Did a search for ftp clients when I first got my site, and filezila was the one that came up and looked good, and been using it ever since. So been using it since September :P

Also got FireFTP for firefox, but I've never used it so far lol :P

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-09-2007, 06:16 PM

I still haven't added FF back on my PC yet. As soon as I do, I'll try this extension for FireFox.

**sdphoto** · 03-13-2007, 11:47 PM

FlashFXP Faithfully....

New Computer fresh install.

What was wierd on my desktop is that it was in ther for over a year and it always asked me to agree to the trial version but it never expired?????

**Michael Biddle** · 03-14-2007, 11:29 AM

mines wierd, it asks me to enter the key everytime, and i do and it works...so i normally keep it open and hit F9 so i dont gotta continue opening and closing
