"Was an ok Product that is being held back by Developer"
Version: SmartFTP Client (64-bit) 4.0.1206
Pros
Was one of the quicker applications that transferred files and directories quickly. Built in Editor and other advanced options made me pick it to purchase.
Cons
Developer doesn't like being told he has bugs. Before purchase I mentioned some things that were not working right that stopped me from buying. He fixed half, but then once purchased he stopped. Error reports he can't fix just get deleted off forum.
Summary
Developer is very rude. If you report an issue he likes to blame other things like You being to dumb to operate it, OS, network, firewall, etc. Other apps like Filezilla work without issue, but he still ignores reports and just deletes them...and you...from his forum. He is big on asking for license/system info a lot on his forum too like he thinks everyone is a software pirate. If your Server is running PureFTP DO NOT get this software. There are issues with SmartFTP keeping ports open and using all your available up as well as not detecting when PureFTP drops/times out inactive ports causing it to ignore your next drag/drop operation or file transfer request. Filezilla or Core work better for basic use. I may even buy Cute since it seems to have the same/better features too once the useless maint is up. He is in a constant state of fixing issues and making more problems, so you will never get good use out of any maint purchased.

"Bad customer support"
Version: SmartFTP Client (64-bit) 4.0.1174
Pros
It almost does the job, but has plenty of bugs.
Cons
I am a paying customer (license ID 400101932) with problems after installing updates, they are no longer replying to my messages. This is how they treat their customers.
Summary
Don't buy anything from this company (or individual, as there is no record of a company behind the website).
-
"Fast and easy install, needs better documentation."
Version: SmartFTP Client (64-bit) 4.0.1163
Pros
Once configured it is impressively fast on the transfers.
Cons
Could use better documentation for configuring, if you have experience using ftp programs this is easily overcome.
Summary
I am purchasing the program.

"Easy and Straightforward Connection"
Version: SmartFTP Client (64-bit) 4.0.1145
Pros
Locks up with server very fast. Never having disconnection issues once upload has started.
Cons
The menu is a little bit to fancily designed. A more plan looking design will actually make uploading less confusing.
Summary
A solid product that will upload and download your files with minimal effort.
-
"Best ftp program I have found."
Version: SmartFTP Client (64-bit) 4.0.1121
Pros
After 3 years of using SmartFTP (1 year for the 64bit version), I firmly believe this is the best in the market.
Cons
I would like to have less delay time between upload groups when uploading a full website. Otherwise, this program is perfect.
Summary
After 16 years of using many ftp programs, both free and premium, I find SmartFTP to be the easiest to use, the most extensive in features, and far more flexible than most. Pay for it once and you own it; however, It is well worth the small annual maintenance upgrade charge to keep getting improved versions.
