CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on November 08, 2008
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.
Watch the CNET video review of SmartFTP:
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 1.5.988.37 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
Note: This program is free for private, noncommercial use only.

Version: SmartFTP 1.5.988.37
Pros: Easy to use, I think the interface is not cluttered and I think it is easy to use. Better than WSFTP my old program.
Cons: Forces updates if you are on the free version and sounds like it is going to ask for money, but does not.

Version: SmartFTP 1.5.988.37
Pros: It does not crash like filezilla does
Cons: it's not free as advertised so I can't use it at work. It asks you to register and then it wants more money every upgrade.

Version: SmartFTP 1.5.988.37
Pros: I have been using CuteFTP for years but Smart FTP is much better. If you know hoe to use Windows you know how to use SmartFTP.
