• Terrifickkkkk

  bullrockDecember 22, 2011

  Pros

  Fast, very fast, extremely fast, No firewall hang-ups or slow-downs, Accurate, Very easy to use and understand. What's not to like?

  Cons

  I can't find, nor can I get an answer from the mfg on changing the font, or enlarging the text. But then, not everyone has my crappy eyesight. not recieving answers to inquiries does make me wonder about future support.

  Summary

  I have extensive experience with WS-FTP and Cute FTP. Currently using version 8 Pro. I downloaded 12 FTP clients, plus my Cute FTP, and 3D is a keeper. I have the "trial" but will purchase very soon.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Dec 28, 2011<p/>I downloaded a bunch of ftp clients to replace my Cute ftp which seems to have run out of speed. Since my first review I have discovered that the text size and font cannot be changed. To someone with weak eyes like myself that's an important feature, but it was by far the best performing ftp client I looked at, including Smart ftp. Oh Yeah! I'm buying it!

• Definitely worth the money

  shmuelmanAugust 30, 2011

  Pros

  Great interface - Remembers your FTP activity Very fast

  Cons

  Costs $40 but worth it.

  Summary

  I ftp many times a day. 3dftp has saved me significant time through its superior interface. Much better to use than Filezilla, and much more accurate.

  harymchuSeptember 26, 2008

  Pros

  Nice software but be prepared to buy twice if you need to reinstall or upgrade.

• If you look for superior upload speed, this is the FTP client to go with.

  OldGuruMay 17, 2007

  Pros

  Fast upload: My max upload speed, as set up by my ISP is 384 kbps (48 KB/s). I tried many FTP clients, best of which were AceFTP and WS_FTP. The best average upload speed for large files that I could get with those two was 45 KB/s. <p> <p>Then I tried 3D-FTP. I got an amazing average upload speed of nearly 62KB/s with large files. That is 25% more than maximum upload speed imposed by my ISP! I don't know how it does it, but it DOES it!

  Cons

  You cannot open more than one local and one remote folders at the same time. B ut it's no big deal.

• A MUST Have for webmasters. the FASTEST FTP EVER

  SCKarlMay 9, 2006

  Pros

  Multithreaded BLAZING SPEED. I needed a way to download backups of my entire server which consisted of hundreds of thousands of files. the little files killed my download time bc each one had to wait it's turn. Not anymore. I download my whole server at my MAX internet connection.

  Cons

  Not free, but I understand and am willing to pay for this one :)

• a GREAT FTP program with Problems

  laythssMarch 21, 2006

  Pros

  FIRST off you can see the progress of files uploaded or downloaded it is in a view ‎window at the bottom of the program which lists all files to be transferred and their ‎progress. SECOND, about its speed: I can say It is fast. the fastest I have tried yet. the ‎speed comes from the ability to transfer 20 files at the same instance. meaning: usually ‎with Ftp programs files are transferred one after the other with this one you have the ‎option to change how many files are transferred at the same time. You can go upto 19 ‎files at the same time. THIRD the program does support drag and drop....now I will ‎mention things that I do not believe any one mentioned that were important to me a as a ‎web master: FOURTH: The ability to use filters in the sync tool, now the closest I saw ‎and that was a mess is FtpVoyager.. This Program beats any other ftp program I have ‎tried in it's sync capabilities and options. You can specify whether you want to upload, ‎download or both. You can use the filters (even though they are very picky in setting - I ‎will mention that in the con section-) to exclude/include files and FOLDERS. FIFTH: ‎sync preview: you have the option to review which files are going to be synced if you ‎select the Manual box in the sync window. What this does is check the files that need to ‎be updated and then add them to your query from there you can delete whatever files you ‎dont want to update and then click the GO button to start the sync, Again comparing this ‎with FTpVoyager which has a similar function, but it is far harder to see things in ‎Voyager because of the split small window of server and local, where as in FTP3D you ‎will first be presented with the server deletion (if any) and then what will be uploaded ‎‎(which will be in your query) I have not and u can firewall/proxy I guess for the server ‎you are connected to since I did no changes to make it work with Zone Alarm.‎

  Cons

  ONE: On a windows XP (1.8GHZ, PM, laptop, 1.5 GB ram), this program takes 99% of ‎the CPU for around 5 seconds.... SECOND: STABABILITY: I have this about once ‎every 10 times , Program will Freeze some how. A)an absolute freeze at startup ‎connection.. which will cause the 99% CPU to stay being used and almost nothing will ‎work on your PC, but the good thing is the CPU usage then fluctuates between 77-99 % ‎and you can use the ctr-Alt-Del and close the program. B) Sometimes the program will ‎get froze after it transfers the files. I found in my experience, that if you let it be, it will ‎finish the operation and continue to function (CPU usage in this instance is not a ‎problem, only program freezes and if you start pressing man buttons in it, it will ‎crash)....THIRD: FUNCTION: the ability to set it to connect to a favourite server when it ‎starts is not available. At least I could not find it, but I might have missed it.... FOURTH: ‎FILTERS: by that I mean the include and exclude filters, they are very picky in the ‎settings, and you have to read the help files to know how to set them properly, even the ‎help files do not mention it specifically so here I am telling you: file names should be ‎entered in the include/exclude filters separated by a semi colon (;) and the trick part is ‎this NO SPACES AT ALL OTHERWISE THEY WILL NOT WORK and only the first ‎file will be read. EXAMPLE: to exclude all files ending with the extensions .db and .gif ‎you will have to enter them as : *.db;*.gif NOT AS *.db; *.gif ... notice the space ‎between the (;) and the (*) that is wrong, and the program does not have an error checker ‎for that problem. IN SUMMERY: Best ftp program I came across, nice skins, if you are ‎going to buy an ftp ‎Program I 100% Recommend this AS LONG AS YOU ARE OK ‎WITH THE CONS ‎ABOVE.‎

• Very Cool FTP Program

  thejwb1July 15, 2005

  Pros

  I have tried many Free FTP programs and this one is the best yet! Nice sound effects, refresh button that actually WORKS, windows that are sized well, shortcut commands.

  Cons

  I had some trouble connecting at first. But it seems to be fine now. <p>-Cash Flows Buyer.com

• GREAT FTP!

  luvlostboyJune 14, 2005

  Pros

  I'd have to say, the first time I downloaded this program and installed it, I had no trouble with figuring it out (of course, with a few minutes of playing with it). My trial version ran out and I am SSSOOOOO disappointed I can't afford to purchase it. I loved this ftp program! I have downloaded ftpNow and SmartFTP...can't get them to work. They won't let me establish a connection with my server. 3DFTP had no difficulty establishing connection and KEPT THE CONNECTION the whole time I was using it. Very disappointed I have to change ftp programs....or at least have to wait until I can afford this one. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!! Can't stress that enough!! :-)

• Works well, informative user interface.

  parvanFebruary 25, 2005

  Pros

  I don't use FTP much, but suddenly had a large number of big files to download. I tried 6 programs. I only ever got two of them to actually connect to the download site. Of those two, 3D-FTP did the best job of maintaining the connection, and had the most informative user interface. As the program author wrote, the C/NET review is just plain wrong to say that you cannot use drag and drop. The folder synchronization feature is nice.

  Cons

• The best multithread FTP program

  shadmandFebruary 10, 2005

  Pros

  I tried differend programs but this one was a real multithread application that without any problem worked fast. If you need a program for ftp protocol , don't waste your time with other programs.

  Cons
