Good Free FTP Client For Windows?

[magicyte]

Ok, so I downloaded FileZilla a while back, but for some reason, this scripting team I participate in says that it takes code such as:


<?php
// php start
echo "PHP Echo";
// php end
?>

... and turns it into this blob:


<?php //php start echo "PHP Echo"; // php end ?>

... upon upload which is DEFINITELY unintended. Everything is commented. :eek: They've proof as well, but I suppose you guys believe me already. I also tried to upload a small image the other day (thus the hosting service would allow it), but it didn't upload, even though the file went through a queue. :confused:

Does anyone know of a free, ui friendly, and highly efficient FTP client OTHER THAN FileZilla? I am in URGENT need and have only found other certain threads such as "FTP Client for LINUX". Note that I require the FTP client be for WINDOWS and NOTHING ELSE. Thanks!

Since Filezilla has always worked perfectly for me, I can't make another recommendation.

If you just want to try and see which one is good for you, here's a list:

Hmm... I've also encountered problems with Filezilla, looks like that programming team may be right..?

I'm currently using Notepad++ for editing files on FTP, when I need to upload something say a css, php, or js file, I'd edit it with n++, and use the "Upload" button on the ftp manager. I also do the same for images, occasionally I open up Windows Explorer and type in ftp://site.net, and then type my username and password.

Either works.

Thanks for those links techietim. Perhaps something was wrong with my computer the other day, because I just tried out FileZilla and it worked! However, those "new line" conversions are still a problem.

Haw, haw, haw. You're on that 'team', Nile... :D

I don't think you can open images with N++. That ftp_synchronize plugin works, but when I open other different files, such as an image, and I try to upload, it doesn't work correctly. Sure, it uploads. The image doesn't display, though. How do you do this, or did you not mean it that way...?

At the part about Windows Explorer... I've tried that and I entered the correct username and password for my ftp (I SWEAR it was correct- I tried it more than 20 times), but it didn't work... Any ideas?? I use ftp://ftp.freehostia.com/ HOWEVER: When I get onto ftp://ftp.freehostia.com/ in my web browser and enter the correct information, I get in. Weird, huh. Also, in my web browser on the file transfer protocol, I can't upload anything, so if I want to upload an image or anything that isn't a file with text in it, I HAVE to use FileZilla.

http://ftp.freehostia.com is just another site, not the freehostia ftp site. to access your site through ftp go ftp://yoursite.freehostia.com. yours would be ftp://magicyte.freehostia.com. also for ftp i use fireftp: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/684

Have you tried it? Next time try it before you say you can't.

Alright. I tried typing my subdomain into windows explorer on the file transfer protocol, and it worked. :D Thank you all!
