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: SmartFTP Client (32-bit) 3.0.1021.10
Pros: Having learned to use this super software it is a real shame that, as a very occasional home user, I can no longer use it free of charge. I will now have to find and learn to use an alternative.
Cons: Having learned to use this super software it is a real shame that, as a very occasional home user, I can no longer use it free of charge. I will now have to find and learn to use an alternative.

Version: SmartFTP Client (32-bit) 3.0.1021.10
"The best FTP application I have used"
Pros: This is a neat application and has served me well for years. It is the best of a number I have tried. I am surprised that a charge has not been asked for before now.
Cons: Unnecessarily complicated in parts for me but that does not mean that is too complex for others who might be more demanding.

Version: SmartFTP Client (32-bit) 3.0.1021.10
"Few improvements over the fact that it's no longer free."
Pros: It's one of the most reliable FTPs out there, great performance and work environment, used to be a must have software.
Cons: The fact that is no longer free and not only that, it's quite expensive. It doesn't shows much improvement to justify a quick change like that.

Version: SmartFTP Client (32-bit) 3.0.1021.10
"It offers nothing more than a Free client"
Pros: I have used SmartFTP for several years and have enjoyed it.
Cons: But as it doesn't offer anything that a Free client like FileZilla can't do, it's time to say goodbye.
