Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
If you're looking for a free yet capable FTP program, check out this offering from CoffeeCup. We liked the program's intuitive interface, although you will be forced to endure several advertising banners. It wasn't immediately clear how to connect to the FTP server, but after a brief trip to the help files, we had success in mere seconds. In our tests, the program did its job just fine, though we did notice a few quirks. For example, the program does not ask whether or not you want to overwrite files and simply does so automatically. In terms of features, CoffeeCup Free FTP supports secure SSH transfers but won't let you schedule downloads. However, we were glad to note that transferring files didn't affect our PC's performance. Although the program doesn't have some advanced features that seasoned users will desire, most folks won't go wrong with this free FTP utility.Publisher's Description

"This isn't an FTP client"
Version: CoffeeCup Free FTP 3
Pros
I am able to uninstall this garbage
Cons
Doesn't allow you to add your own server. Only works with S-Drive...*** is s-drive?
Summary
Downloaded this waste of data only to find that if you don't have an s-drive account, it's worse than useless. Time AND money wasted!

"Very simple to use and much better than Filezilla."
Version: CoffeeCup Free FTP 4.3.1721
Pros
Easy and has not stopped sending files every time I send em.
Cons
None as far as today.
Summary
I used Filezilla many times. Lately I have need to send some files using my wireless laptop over a slow connection. Every time I sent a file using Filezilla the tranfer stopped or was cut short. But Coffee Cup did that fast and never failed.

"Easy to use"
Version: CoffeeCup Free FTP 4.3.1721
Pros
Ease of use I like its favorites like function for ftp sites, each with its own configuration. Ability to rename files or set attributes are good. Prompts when you want to overwrite files.
Cons
Refresh time is a bit slow sometimes depending on connection. Deletion of directory did not prompt sometimes.

"Okay, but no for most people."
Version: CoffeeCup Free FTP 4.2.1526
Pros
Free, laid out okay.
Cons
Stripped of many features of the pay-version
Summary
If you want a good, powerful, free FTP client, look somewhere else. CoffeeCup Free FTP is decent for people who may have the occasional web upload, say once a month, and don't need any features, just need it to work. Firefox has the add-on FireFTP, which is also a free FTP client, however I think it is better than CoffeeCup. There's really nothing very bad with it, just that most people would want that little something more out of their FTP client.

"Works Great!"
Version: CoffeeCup Free FTP 4.2.1526
Pros
Does what you need it to.
Cons
Doesn't minimize to the systme tray when transfering files. That would be a little handy when multi-tasking.
Summary
Try it. It's free and takes no time to download and install.
