    Question Good FTP Program

    Hello everybody,

    A simple question:

    Does anyone know of a good FTP program that I can download and start using.

    I don't need it to do anything extra special but I do work on a lot of different sites and at times have to transfer large (2MB-7MB) files.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks peeps.

    Personally, I like ncftp. It supports:

    FireFTP's good. (An extension for Mozilla FireFox)

    FireFTP is good.
    I also use FTPSurfer. It's an older program, but works well and is easy to understand if you're starting off.
    FileZilla is also a good one.
    There really aren't too many bad ftp programs, and everyone has their preferences. Really, the trick is downloading one, getting used to it, and liking it.

    I use CuteFTP most of the time; although it is a paid program. When I am on the road, I use Filezilla (which I have installed on my U3 Flash Drive).

    I've used SmartFTP for years. I love it, and it's free.

    I use Ipswitch WS FTP Professional every time, I use CuteFTP some time when I want to delete all files in folders.

    Filezilla seems to be one of the few that runs well on OSX.
