This program for updating sites could become your personal favorite. The first thing you notice is that the installation file size is tiny for such software--and after you launch the program, you realize why. CoffeeCup Direct FTP has no adware, useless features, or wasted space. Everything caters to the needs of a Web designer. The main window looks traditional, divided into three sections. The left side shows your computer's contents, the right side shows your site's contents, and the bottom panel shows not only the processes that take place during file transferring, but also the page you're uploading. You can drop a file into this window, view the code, and see how it looks in a Web browser. Even better, you can edit the file to make last-minute changes before uploading it to a Web site. This feature alone blows away many competing programs, making it a must-try for serious Web designers.

For really DIRECT FTP check this web-based app: directransfer.net Allows to transfer files directly between 2 ftp servers. Very Handy

Smoaky
Pros
Unlike some other FTP apps this one does not require that you have a degree from MIT to configure and use.
<p>Very eye pleasing interface and simple to navigate.If you are just beginning to experiment with file transfers,then I would highly suggest you try this one first.
<p>WS_FTP Pro is my other choice but is not free.
Cons
The free version blasts you with a "nag" screen every time you exit the program wanting you to buy other products from them (web hosting) etc.
<p>Other than that NA-DA !!

Pros
CoffeeCup Direct FTP is a very good little programme that is very easy to use. Once you have installed it and entered the details of your host server, you can upload or download your files without any hassle. You can even preview and edit a file that's on your server.
Cons
Summary
Dangerously bugged
kmeixner
Pros
Great interface, simple to use.
Cons
While upload seems to work fine, downloading HTML text files from a server sent me blank files withoug anything in them. It's lucky I noticed before I nearly wiped out both the online and offline copies of a Web site I manage. I recommend avoiding this program until they fix this serious problem.
Summary
Awesome software for uploading files and then edit on the fly
ataylor26
Pros
What I really like about this software is how fast I can set up a connection with it then upload files. The best though is being able to open a file and edit it through the ftp program. It makes it great for quick fixes.
Cons
There is nothing bad to say about this application.
Summary
Easy install, easy upload & download, Easy Edit

Pros
CoffeeCup Direct FTP is a very easy to use program for uploading your finished pages to the web. The program starts with the installation of the server(s) you're going to use. The explanation how to do this is simple and direct, no misunderstanding possible.
<p>Once connected the screen presents your local directories and the directory of your web hosting company. With simple clicks you can make the windows pointing to the same set of files. Selecting a file or multiple files for uploading is easy with the CTRL-button and UPLOAD. Also downloading the files back to local disk can be done in the same easy way.
<p>Excellent is the possibility to EDIT an uploaded file, make the change and upload again. Very comfortable for small corrections (don't forget to do the same correction on the local file to avoid the same error occuring over and over again)
<p>The screen can be view in three different modes: FTP only, FTP and Edit mode, Edit mode only.
<p>The easy use makes this program highly recommendable.
Browse FTP servers using a client with built-in HTML editing and archiving utilities.Do not let the name fool you: Direct FTP is way more than just an FTP client. Sure, it transfers files at don't-blink-or-you will-miss-it speeds, but it is also a complete Web design toolbox. Use it to make last-?minute edits, preview and organize your files, and back everything up, just in case. It is the FTP client with a full-blown, built-in Web editor that lets you work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and more. With other stellar features like bookmarks, easy archival, and a neatly ordered activity log, it leads the pack in power and usability.
