Version: BitKinex 2.9.1
Pros: I was looking for an alternative the the usual FTP clients that we see on the net in the last few years (CuteFTP, WSFTP, etc) to see if there's anything new, or simply cheaper for the same features.
This program do the job, the transfer is fast & multithreaded, it's cheap, and almost bugless. Nice features such as Sync. browsing, window transparency, and some other stuff.
Cons: GUI should be enhanced. I hate to manually type a complete directory (c:\documents and settings\myuser\mydocuments\... and so on) to point to a specific directory when i get connected to an FTP site. I prefer to use a Directory Selection Box.
Even with the transparency feature, i would appreciate some skin features.

Version: BitKinex 2.9.1
"Great User Interface for Multi Site FTP access."
Pros: I absolutely love the messenger style interface for the ftp account list -- works just like your popular buddy list allowing you to select an ftp account and this pops up in it's own window with attached local and remote windows. Both the remote and local windows can be set to independent defaults for that account, saving you tons of browsing time!
I found Bitkinex years ago and still glad I switched, my daily ftp tasks are so much easier... and there are many features you wouldn't have dreamed of ... i.e. scheduled tasks... upload those files just when they are supposed to be there, and not a moment too soon (or late!)
Cons: Really can't say --- anything I didn't like previously, the creator has already improved on and it keeps getting better!

Version: BitKinex 2.5
Pros: I use it to debugging web pages every day and I really like the way of restarting transfers using the traffic-light icons. I think it's very useful idea.

Version: BitKinex 2.5
Pros: It did the job on XP, even though XP claims to have similar features built in, this product worked for a friend who had tried and failed using other methods.
Cons: Costs 40 dollars, but you can't have it all.

"Excellent FTP transfer utility"
Pros: The ability to update only those files which have changed on a site was why I chose this product. This feature works flawlessly. Also the background threads work with no errors apparent.
