Publisher's description of Fastream NetFile FTP Client

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Fastream NetFile FTP Client 6.0

It's no fun when your FTP client crashes before the party's even begun. Though this lightweight program has all the bells and whistles required of a basic FTP client, it's plagued with stability issues. Fastream NetFile is probably best suited to managing small sites, as it has no automation options, such as scheduling or macros. It also doesn't support advanced FTP features, such as allowing secure transfers or automatically synchronizing remote and local directories. On the positive side, it's easy to flip from tab to tab when working with multiple FTP sites and downloading multiple files at once. The program automatically caches directories so browsing FTP sites is superfast. However, we weren't big fans of the dialog windows that popped up for each transfer, and the screen flickers while directories refreshed frankly made us a bit nervous. Fastream isn't the most stable friend; during testing, we were kicked off connections a handful of times, and had to struggle with even more error messages. The program crashed several times. If you don't mind the unpredictablity, this freeware program might suffice for the occasional FTP transfer.

  "Not bad for a "lite" client!"

  by osmana2005 on July 11, 2007

  Pros: Rapid response times, a very intuitive GUI.

  Cons: Didn't like the local-view. Not only is it just a windows explorer pane (the ability to add specific directories to a toolbar or something for fast access would have been nice), but it doesn't allow thumbnail view. A major pain when uploading from a large /images/ dir!!!

  "unbeatable"

  by 5280_Busa on May 11, 2007

  Pros: After downloading and installing countless FTP clients, I go sick of having to uninstall them when the trial was up..some of them wanted $29+ which is a ripoff. This client is super easy to use, intuitive, and free. Thanks to Fastream for a great product.

  Cons: None

  "Good FTP for free"

  by ScourgeXanvor on January 14, 2006

  Pros: Can move files between the remote host and your machine using drag and drop, menus, or right-clicking. Very fast on XP.

  Cons: If your connection times out, you have to click the disconnect button, then re-log in and go through the remote directories again. On the FTP program I used to use for Win98, it would automatically log you back in and put you in the directory you were in.

  "Crashed on my first file download"

  by QuickLook on October 3, 2006

  Pros: Easy to use

  Intuitive enough interface

  Free

  Cons: It got hung up on downloading files.

  Later I learned I don�t even need a separate FTP Client Windows File Manger handles that seamlessly.
