• One of the best free FTP programs

  annelionsSeptember 9, 2008

  Pros

  Shows .htaccess files Built-in file editor (or specify your own) Multiple connections at once Nice interface Automatic keep alive

  Cons

  No in-program ability to create files (directories, yes) No copy/paste of files (but you can drag & drop)

  Summary

  After looking for days to find a free FTP program that would replace SmartFTP, I finally found this one. Although it lacks copy/paste, the local browser is much easier and nicer to use than other free FTP programs. I also miss the ability to right click and create a new, blank, file of any kind directly on the server. Not being able to isn't a show-stopper, but I do still miss it. It's also one of the few free FTP programs that actually show .htaccess files. Most of them don't (or don't do it easily) and I must have .htaccess files. All in all, this program does 90% of what I want and the price tag is right. So if you're looking for something to replace your old FTP program, I highly recommend trying this one on for size.

• Extremely useful

  kiveyaMarch 15, 2007

  Pros

  You don't have to be an ftp wizard to use this program. That being said,anyone can find its features useful. Its very flexible, fast, and a instinctive to use. I like how easy it is to set up and manage multiple connections using tabbed windows.

  Cons

  If you left the connection open and idle too long without doing anything, the connection times out and pops up an alert. It will keep popping up this alert until there are dozens of them. The only way to escape then is to shut down the program. Its annoying, but if you're not working on that connection theres no reason to keep it open, just close it before it goes idle and reopen when you need it again.

• Browse multiple FTP locations is great!

  ivankioJanuary 10, 2007

  Pros

  I am no heavy user, but I liked a lot the possibility to browse several domains. <p>The interface is very good and easy to use even on a 1024x768 screen.

  Cons

  Unfortunatelly, it seems I am not able to browse the FTP locations while a file transfer is in progress. <p>Also, it seems I can not tranfer from one web location to another directly, but I am not shure about this.
