Darren Kitchen Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Ok I've been using SmartFTP for a while and think it's the best, but it's trial version is far from expired and I've got a little sticker shock after looking at the $30 price tag. The drag and drop feature is what sold initially but there has to be a less expensive (or hopefully free) alternative. I've used filezilla and ws_ftp and neither are to my liking. no offence filezilla, I <3 OSS but unless you've got drag and drop these days it's just not doing it for me. So wonderful Hak5 community, what do you use when it comes to the all important task of wizzing files around der interweb over FTP? Thx, D Quote
stingwray Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I use FileZilla, does the job for me. It also does have drag and drop now. Quote
film Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I use FTP Commander Deluxe , its also drag and drop and i got a patch for it so its free anyway. Very simple ... Quote
DLSS Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I use FileZilla, does the job for me.It also does have drag and drop now. ditto Quote
moonlit Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I still use SmartFTP... I should register... *shrug* Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted August 23, 2006 Author Posted August 23, 2006 unless I'm missing something in filezilla, drag and drop is only working from remote to local and not the other way around. Quote
revolations2525 Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Filezilla, SmartFTP, and iftp-win32 But most of the time, I use Filezilla Quote
jool Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I vote for filezilla, but I do know of something else that some people like. NetDrive which is an old Novell tool which allows you to map network drives and ftp sites as a drive in Windows. Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted August 23, 2006 Author Posted August 23, 2006 I've tried netdrive but it's unstable. Quote
kickarse Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 CuteFTP is nice but expensive SmartFTP is nice but is buggy FileZilla is OK but _was_ buggy for me WS_FTP doesn't really do it for me I use smartFTP besides its problems Quote
JD Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I use FlashFXP, a newer version of WS_FTP and when they really piss me off, i have like a Win95 version of WS_FTP Quote
eddietop Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Flash FXP, top sites running dr ftpd require a client that supports the PRET command Quote
jollyrancher82 Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I use Filezilla on Windows, and gFTP on Linux. Quote
PoyBoy Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 gFTP It kinda sucks but I dont really need ftp anyways! Quote
proskater123 Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 hey some how i think i got a version of smartftp that you don't have to pay for. i can upload the installer for you to oine of my servers and let you download it???? ya it is free. I got it with 10gb.org they sent me an email with the link so if you want the installer ill send it to you! Quote
Famicoman Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Tried Filezilla, but it wouldn't run on the two machines I needed it on. Next, I used SmartFTP, but it stopped working. Lastly, I now use AceFTP. It gets the job done. Quote
omega_ion Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I just use the fireFTP extension for Firefox, I really haven't had any need for anything else. Quote
Garda Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Is there something wrong with me that i just use the ftp shell command for ftp sites, and wget for large files? Quote
