Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This powerhouse FTP client takes some getting used to, but you'll be glad you did. 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 on up. It's also free for personal use and an incredible bargain. Watch the CNET video review of SmartFTP Client (x86):
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 2.0.1000.3 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: SmartFTP Client (x86) 2.0.1000.3
Pros: I will admit that when I first saw the interface I was a little bit daunted but after about 10 minutes of experimenting with the software I started getting the hang of things, I found it really easy to connect to the server and uploading my site was a breeze. This is a really great product and I strongly recommend this product to any webmaster.

Version: SmartFTP Client (x86) 2.0.1000.3
Pros: SmartFTP has Windows Explorer like user interface. If you are a beginner this will be the best choice for you. Everything about is very easy to learn for a Windows user. For example to CHMOD files right click -> and chose Properties like in Windows Explorer...
Here there is a short list with some SmartFTP features I like :
- You can easily drag & drop files or folders from or to Windows Explorer.
- CHMOD is more like Properties in Windows Explorer.
- Resume for broken Transfers
- Multi Remote Connections
This is one of the best FTP client I ever seen. I use this for common FTP connection and WinSCP for SFTP and SCP connections. If you like this try WinSCP also ...
Cons: I would like to see full support for SSH and SCP protocols ...
