I use cuteftp and wsftp_le, only downside of using the two is if you upload in wsftp_le the files are unseen by cuteftp sometimes

both get my vote thou - but stick to one

AceFTP is free, and just as good. visicommedia.com
theres a free version and a pro...the only difference is that the free version has ads

If it's for personal use, which most of us use it for, I would say it *it* is free, then!

I also use WS_FTP ... from the start. Does anyone know if they will ever release new versions of it? I'd love if it got a new interface, or just one that is more modern.

I also use WS_FTP_LE. It's also for educational purposes, as well as for evaluation and personal use.

Personally, I don't care how a program looks, or what fancy things it can do, as long as I can upload/download files. That's really all I expect from a normal FTP client.

That's always a bummer, especially if you use it lots during the trail and really get to like it! I would imagine that the WS_FTP one is similar and by the sounds of it free.

I've been using WS-FTP since the start. I don't think there's much of a difference in terms of which is best - the basic functionality is always the same and after that most people don't need many extra features (besides chmod, which I thought was pretty standard but I guess not...)

I'm a WS_FTP user as well. If you manage a number of sites, the paid Pro version is well worth it for it's Windows Explorer integration.

I tend to work in Explorer quite a bit and it effectively adds all your ftp sites in a "Network Neighbourhood" sort of fashion.

On the other hand, the last few versions of HomeSite have included similar functionality with built in Macromedia FTP software which makes WS_FTP somewhat redundant - but I'm a creature of habit

I use WS_FTP LE. It is free and gets the job done.
