Darren Kitchen Posted August 23, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingwray Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I use FileZilla, does the job for me. It also does have drag and drop now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Kitchen Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolations2525 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Filezilla, SmartFTP, and iftp-win32 But most of the time, I use Filezilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jool Posted August 23, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famicoman Posted August 23, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
