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 3.0.1019.11 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: SmartFTP Client (32-bit) 3.0.1019.11
Pros: I used to love it, but they pulled the rug out too fast and rubbed us the wrong way.
Cons: Warning: SmartFTP now requires you to purchase, or they will hijack your client and settings forever. Way to alienate your user base, SmartFTP.

Version: SmartFTP Client (32-bit) 3.0.1019.11
Cons: My previous negative rating of this was expunged from this site so, it's not worth leaving another one.

Version: SmartFTP Client (32-bit) 3.0.1019.11
"From amazing to bloated, from free to pay."
Pros: Tabbed connections.
Cons: Originally, SmartFTP was an awesome FTP client with drag and drop support. It had amazing functionality without a whole lot of bloat. As SmartSoft continued to develop the software, it became bloated with annoying optional "features" that eventually became forced, such as the horrible clogging Transfer Queue.
Now SmartFTP, in its bloated annoying form, is no longer free. I might consider buying the old, unbloated version for a small fee, but neither it nor this slow bloated monster are worth the amount SmartSoft is trying to leech from people.
