Publisher's description
From SiteDesigner Technologies :3D-FTP is a lightning-fast FTP client with a multithreaded transfer engine providing file transfers that are up to 20 times faster. You can browse and change directories while transferring files in the background. Features such as bookmarks, direct remote editing, and directory synchronization make 3D-FTP the perfect tool for Webmasters. Also, the feature for calculating a directory's total size (including subdirectories) is great for keeping a Web site's total size below its limit.
Other features include antivirus scanning for downloaded files, the ability to print file listings, custom commands with macros, autoresume, autoreconnect, KeepAlive, a transfer queue, support for ratio sites, optional skins, and recurrant scheduling. You can extend 3D-FTP with API architecture and plug-ins (a free SDK and source code are available).
Version 7.0 adds new dialog-box color themes, antivirus scanning for each downloaded file, local bookmarks, and improved file management.

Version: 3D-FTP 7.0
"a GREAT FTP program with Problems"
Pros: FIRST off you can see the progress of files uploaded or downloaded it is in a view ΓΆΒ?Β?window at the bottom of the program which lists all files to be transferred and their ΓΆΒ?Β?progress. SECOND, about its speed: I can say It is fast. the fastest I have tried yet. the ΓΆΒ?Β?speed comes from the ability to transfer 20 files at the same instance. meaning: usually ΓΆΒ?Β?with Ftp programs files are transferred one after the other with this one you have the ΓΆΒ?Β?option to change how many files are transferred at the same time. You can go upto 19 ΓΆΒ?Β?files at the same time. THIRD the program does support drag and drop....now I will ΓΆΒ?Β?mention things that I do not believe any one mentioned that were important to me a as a ΓΆΒ?Β?web master: FOURTH: The ability to use filters in the sync tool, now the closest I saw ΓΆΒ?Β?and that was a mess is FtpVoyager.. This Program beats any other ftp program I have ΓΆΒ?Β?tried in it's sync capabilities and options. You can specify whether you want to upload, ΓΆΒ?Β?download or both. You can use the filters (even though they are very picky in setting - I ΓΆΒ?Β?will mention that in the con section-) to exclude/include files and FOLDERS. FIFTH: ΓΆΒ?Β?sync preview: you have the option to review which files are going to be synced if you ΓΆΒ?Β?select the Manual box in the sync window. What this does is check the files that need to ΓΆΒ?Β?be updated and then add them to your query from there you can delete whatever files you ΓΆΒ?Β?dont want to update and then click the GO button to start the sync, Again comparing this ΓΆΒ?Β?with FTpVoyager which has a similar function, but it is far harder to see things in ΓΆΒ?Β?Voyager because of the split small window of server and local, where as in FTP3D you ΓΆΒ?Β?will first be presented with the server deletion (if any) and then what will be uploaded ΓΆΒ?Β?ΓΆΒ?Β?(which will be in your query) I have not and u can firewall/proxy I guess for the server ΓΆΒ?Β?you are connected to since I did no changes to make it work with Zone Alarm.ΓΆΒ?Β?
Cons: ONE: On a windows XP (1.8GHZ, PM, laptop, 1.5 GB ram), this program takes 99% of ΓΆΒ?Β?the CPU for around 5 seconds.... SECOND: STABABILITY: I have this about once ΓΆΒ?Β?every 10 times , Program will Freeze some how. A)an absolute freeze at startup ΓΆΒ?Β?connection.. which will cause the 99% CPU to stay being used and almost nothing will ΓΆΒ?Β?work on your PC, but the good thing is the CPU usage then fluctuates between 77-99 % ΓΆΒ?Β?and you can use the ctr-Alt-Del and close the program. B) Sometimes the program will ΓΆΒ?Β?get froze after it transfers the files. I found in my experience, that if you let it be, it will ΓΆΒ?Β?finish the operation and continue to function (CPU usage in this instance is not a ΓΆΒ?Β?problem, only program freezes and if you start pressing man buttons in it, it will ΓΆΒ?Β?crash)....THIRD: FUNCTION: the ability to set it to connect to a favourite server when it ΓΆΒ?Β?starts is not available. At least I could not find it, but I might have missed it.... FOURTH: ΓΆΒ?Β?FILTERS: by that I mean the include and exclude filters, they are very picky in the ΓΆΒ?Β?settings, and you have to read the help files to know how to set them properly, even the ΓΆΒ?Β?help files do not mention it specifically so here I am telling you: file names should be ΓΆΒ?Β?entered in the include/exclude filters separated by a semi colon (;) and the trick part is ΓΆΒ?Β?this NO SPACES AT ALL OTHERWISE THEY WILL NOT WORK and only the first ΓΆΒ?Β?file will be read. EXAMPLE: to exclude all files ending with the extensions .db and .gif ΓΆΒ?Β?you will have to enter them as : *.db;*.gif NOT AS *.db; *.gif ... notice the space ΓΆΒ?Β?between the (;) and the (*) that is wrong, and the program does not have an error checker ΓΆΒ?Β?for that problem. IN SUMMERY: Best ftp program I came across, nice skins, if you are ΓΆΒ?Β?going to buy an ftp ΓΆΒ?Β?Program I 100% Recommend this AS LONG AS YOU ARE OK ΓΆΒ?Β?WITH THE CONS ΓΆΒ?Β?ABOVE.ΓΆΒ?Β?

"The best multithread FTP program"
Pros: I tried differend programs but this one was a real multithread application that without any problem worked fast. If you need a program for ftp protocol , don't waste your time with other programs.

"A MUST Have for webmasters. the FASTEST FTP EVER"
Pros: Multithreaded BLAZING SPEED. I needed a way to download backups of my entire server which consisted of hundreds of thousands of files. the little files killed my download time bc each one had to wait it's turn. Not anymore. I download my whole server at my MAX internet connection.
Cons: Not free, but I understand and am willing to pay for this one :)

Version: 3D-FTP 7.0
"If you look for superior upload speed, this is the FTP client to go with."
Pros: Fast upload: My max upload speed, as set up by my ISP is 384 kbps (48 KB/s). I tried many FTP clients, best of which were AceFTP and WS_FTP. The best average upload speed for large files that I could get with those two was 45 KB/s.
Then I tried 3D-FTP. I got an amazing average upload speed of nearly 62KB/s with large files. That is 25% more than maximum upload speed imposed by my ISP! I don't know how it does it, but it DOES it!
Cons: You cannot open more than one local and one remote folders at the same time. B ut it's no big deal.
