FTP Software. I could do with some help.

[Shagga]

I understand how to use this software in theory, but I never really have got the hang of it. So, for starters which in your opinion is the easiest yet most powerful FTP client software and secondly, is there a good tutorial site? Your prolly gunna tell me to read the help files, but which FTP client software to start?

Cheers all.

Leechftp is free and it's the best I've ever used...ever. Also guildftpd is a free ftp server software. It holds it's own against commercial competitors.

I use Bulletproof FTP Server now, it's the only on I've been able to get work behind my router. For anyone who dose not know, while running an FTP with a router, Ports 21, 20 and 80 need to be opened in order to host.

He was looking for a client not a server.

WS_FTP is the best freeware FTP program I used.

Agreed. I've been using WS_FTP for years (but the Pro version which is not freeware)

FlashFXP is the best client IMO. Been using that one for awhile, it's cheap and *well* worth the money with all the features it comes with. Check it all out @ www.flashfxp.com. HIGHLY recommended
