Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Core FTP Lite is a top-notch freeware FTP client, with a wide, uncluttered layout to keep things organized. Easy to use and lacking only the most advanced of features, like multisite connections, Core FTP is a must-have.
Major functions such as Site Manager for maintaining connection information, Quick Reconnect, and mode switching are given big buttons on the toolbar. When you're connected to a site, though, the file-management pane also replicates buttons for most of these functions so you don't have to mouse very far to use the tool you need. The client supports all essential FTP functions, including multiple transfers, secure protocols, configurable ASCII uploading for specified file types, browser integration, and more.
There are few downsides to using this app. There's no scheduler. Some users have noted past stability issues, both in general and when conducting large transfers, but it seems that many older bugs have been worked out. We noticed no problems during our tests and strongly recommend Core FTP Lite.

Version: Core FTP LE 2.1 build 1631
"Been great, but there's faster uploading elsewhere"
Pros: I've used CoreFTP for 4 years now, and I've loved it.
Cons: I just discovered that while I can upload at about 90 KB/s with CoreFTP LE 2.1, I could upload around 350 KB/s with Filezilla. I had thought that our slow internet connection was the only culprit, but I guess there's something for debugging.
Summary: But if you want a free FTP software besides Filezilla, go with CoreFTP. At least give it a try I've really enjoyed using it, and I could be the exception to the rule with my upload speed issues. Download speed hasn't been any problem.
