Version: SmartFTP Client (32-bit) 3.0.1022.5
"No longer free! WAY TOO HIGH PRICED!!!"
Pros: It was a good piece of software and had great features.
Cons: They cannot justify the HIGH PRICE for the basic program. They blew it on this one. I guess SmartFTP thought they have the market monopoly and charge an exorbitant amount (renew payment yearly!) for a file transfer software that can be found for FREE with many other developers. What they should have done was keep the free version limited to basic usage. New companies will come out with their similar version and knock SmartFTP off their feet.

Version: SmartFTP Client (32-bit) 3.0.1022.5
Pros: It was perfect until version 2.5. No transfer queue yet.
Cons: I purchased this software because I thought the transfer queue will be gone eventually. If you read their forum, no one really likes the transfer queue. It srcrew up my uploading files since sometimes the queue is immediately executed sometimes it doesn't. I have no idea what it's waiting for, but I wasn't downloading nor uploading any other files when the queue got stuck. Believe me the transfer queue really really sucks!

Cons: The lame license change. Not suited for total FTP beginners.
Summary: Once an update is available it will stop working until you download it - very annoying. But what shocked me as a user is that, it was presented as FREEWARE but it was never such - as the app forces updates, they just changed the licence at some N-th ... read more
