I've been using Smart FTP, but lately the expiration prompt keeps coming up, and it won't let me use it even after I clicked "OK" a buncha times. There are some free trials out there, but I'm comfortable with Smart FTP. What do you guys recommend? Something that's free and won't have that annoying expiration prompt?

Thanks,

I've used WSFTP and CuteFTP.

However, my favorite is simply the built in FTP capability of Internet Explorer. Doesn't always work, but I always try it first and it works most of the time.

Also, if you're trying to send single, large files, I like using YouSendIt.com. It's the rage here in the office because all you need to know is the recipient's email and you're good to go. The free service only allows one file at a time.

FireFTP is a Firefox extension that has basic FTP capabilities. i've used it a few times.
however, i like SmartFTP better.

FileZilla is by far the best ftp program I have ever used. I've used the FireFTP addon to Firefox also and it is very similar to FileZilla if you would prefer having it built in to Firefox.
