CNET editors' review
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, multi-pane 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 2.0.1002.2 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: SmartFTP Client (x86) 2.0.1002.2
"A good FTP, but there's better"
Pros: The program is very powerful and will give anybody who knows what they are doing a good time. FTP clients are very, very useful.
Cons: It's not good for those who don't have a whole lot of savvy, and it's not quite user-intuitive. You also have a trail period before you have to...pay...
I prefer FireFTP (A client made for Firefox) or Leech FTP. They are free and are easier to use.

Version: SmartFTP Client (x86) 2.0.1002.2
"Excellent piece of software!"
Pros: Nice clean interface with tabs for each site.
Worked though every firewall I've tried it behind and chmod and remote file editing are very useful features.
Cons: Can only remote edit one file at a time. I'd love for it to do more (like PHPad allows multiple file editing over FTP).
