In the past decade, there has been an increasing number of FTP clients available for free or purchase. For those who do not know was FTP is, it stands for File Transfer Protocol. It allows you to upload and image to another server from your computer. Of course, a lot of the paid FTP programs are great, but the normal person does not really have the money to fork out to buy for a program that they might not use that often. Of course, for webmasters or web designers, it is a necessity, so I have gathered a small list of FTP programs to share.
Here are a few I found:
FileZilla – I use this and it is great!
SmartFTP – actually there is only a 30 day trial, but I have tried it out in the past and liked it. Although it is not free, I thought I would mention it as it has been one that I have enjoyed using.
GoFTP – only costs if you are in a company of 50 or more clients. I tried this, but it did not work very well and I found it a bit unfriendly user-wise.
FireFTP – this is a cross-platform ftp client for Firefox users. I have not tried it, but after asking a few friends of mine, they liked it. It is free and the site says it has been downloaded over 12 million times.
CoffeeCup Free FTP – free version. They also have a purchase version called Direct FTP. Very user-friendly.
What do you use? Is it free? Do you recommend it?
