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 1.3c build 1447.6
"Great FTP client for website updates"
Pros: Easy for the novice to learn and use.
Nothing much to go wrong (I've had absolutely no problems with it).
Have not had to update it once, so it's a very complete and robust product.
Cons: Havn't come across any issues since I downloaded it.

Version: Core FTP LE 1.3c build 1447.6
Pros: I just dowloaded this and am having no problems. The installation was easy, no spyware or viruses came with it. No ads or banners with the software. I use it to update web content, and I am not having the upload disconnection problems that other users are reporting. Everything works great, I recommend this free program.
Cons: none what so ever.

Version: Core FTP LE 1.3c build 1447.6
Pros: Seemed good at first. It had features my previous FTP program didn't: it can delete non-empty folders, and it always stays connected to FTP (even when inactive).
Cons: I started to realize that it crashes about half the time (while doing basic functions). It sometimes doesn't view local folders correctly.

"It was so easy and fast to connect with host that i had to say "cool""
Pros: I like the way program connects me to the host server and the ease with which I can access my files and transfer them as and when required.
