CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This powerhouse FTP client takes some getting used to, but you'll be glad you gave it a chance. Don't be alarmed by the cramped, multipane Windows Explorer-like interface; you can customize the toolbars and windowpanes however you like.
With the Local Browser window visible, SmartFTP supports drag-and-drop transfers like those on basic FTP clients. But its real power lies deeper within its option menus, where you'll find CHMOD remote file-attribute modification, background file transfers, multiple FTP connections, passive-mode transfers, site-to-site transfers (FXP), and connections via proxy or SSL. Using the Global Queue window, you even can schedule downloads or uploads to more than one server.
SmartFTP may overwhelm beginners, but it's a natural for intermediates and up.

Publisher's description
From SmartSoft :SmartFTP allows you to transfer files across the Internet. It features an Explorer-like, customizable interface and supports drag-and-drop functions. Multiple FTP connections can be opened at the same time, and you can copy files from one remote host to another (FXP). Remote-host directory information is cached for future viewing, and FTP URLs are supported. Other features include a Favorites list; the ability to resume broken downloads; a global history; background transfers; proxy support; a passive transfer mode; and the ability to perform recursive downloads, uploads, and deletes.
Version 3.0.1017.1 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: SmartFTP Client (32-bit) 3.0.1017.1
"Excellent software that "just works"..."
Pros: I have to say that this is one of the most user-friendly pieces of software I've ever used. The developers have done just about everything right from the design of the interface to the software's default settings.
I've tried different FTP clients and have really never been satisfied with any of them - before SmartFTP. SmartFTP changed my mind and made me a believer in TrialWare again.
Thank you SmartFTP! Keep up the rockin' work!
Cons: There is NOTHING I don't like about this software. It is one of the easiest and most user-friendly pieces of software I've ever used.

Version: SmartFTP Client (32-bit) 3.0.1017.1
Pros: powerful
Cons: Difficult to arrange windows where you want, or switch from binary upload to ascii upload, or close out one site and switch to another, etc. Definitely not for someone who simply wants to upload a file to his/her site.
