Version: GoFTP Free 2.1.87
Pros: Easy to install and easy to uninstall. No problem or error found with this software. Fast and certain uploads and downloads. Nice grafical user interface. I did not have to change settings, so I do not know if this influence the working of GoFTP, but GoFTP seems to me stable. GoFTP is the only free FTP program for Windows Vista.
Cons: When you open GoFTP the local files frame shows the default folder and not the folder you last opened, but more FTP programs have this shortcoming.

Version: GoFTP Free 2.1.87
Pros: Nice interface.
Cons: Their site states "The free version is fully functional and there are NO nag screens". What they don't tell you is that it adds 'almost hidden' links to ALL HTML files. What these links do and where they go to is open to question. These links could go anywhere and so how does the user know what else the sneaky little program does? This is unacceptable!
Is the paid-for product free of this nastiness? How does anyone know?
I wouldn't risk anything from an organisation that acts so surreptitiously.
DO NOT USE IT!
In any case their claim to fast speeds is also flawed in my opinion as the technology used takes more up-front processing before the transmission takes place.

"Installs Ads included in transferred files!"
Pros: fast
Cons: The software installs ads in every php and html file transferred with this. This could be considered Adware and definetly not free.

"Do Not Download or Use this Software"
Pros: Do not download or use this software.
Cons: This software adds hidden ads to the bottom of all your html files, without warning you! I'm pretty sure this isn't legal at all. This software should be removed from Download.com
