I’ve tried many many FTP clients over the years. And a lot of them in the past few months. The best overall FTP Client is…

  1. CuteFTP - The most robust and fully featured product. It is not free, the cost was about $60. Well worth the price for what it does. Loaded with features, this one actually does save me time and effort.
  2. FileZilla - Very nice FREE program. I am a big fan of filezilla. I used this product for many years, and I do still use it from time to time. Fast, easy to use program.
  3. FlashFXP - A very solid FTP client. Works well and very robust. Never had any interface errors, or crashes. It is not free, but I believe the cost is only $25 to buy.
  4. Smart FTP - Another very good program. The interface was just a little over cluttered for me, it takes me a while to get this progam setup just right. Smart FTP has a free version and a paid version costing about $37.
