What is the best free FTP program out ther?

[beer]

I need to give my parents something to use, and I don't want to have to pay for it. I've always just used the FTP support from within Dreamweaver for all my FTP uploading needs but obviously I can't tell my parents to do that. I need a free, simple FTP program. I see many of them on download.com, but which ones are actually good?

SmartFTP is probably the best freeware FTP client. It isn't as good as FlashFXP or BulletProof, but it's free

 

[CrazyHelloDeli]

CuteFTP, very simple and like you said, free

 

[geno]

WS_FTP is the simplest and most stable I've used

 

[tigerbait]

WS_FTP LE

 

[Ismisus]

Bullet Proof all the way.

 

[Paulson]

WS_FTP

Hardcore WS_FTP LE user over here. It's nice and simple. The interface kicks ass - very convenient and easy to use. You can probably get it at download.com. I believe LE is the only free version.

Another vote for WS_FTP.

An excellent FTP client.

 

[bacillus]

never had a problem with WS_FTP LE!

Bulletproof is not free.

leechftp..

 

[aceO07]

Smartftp is pretty good.

I use LapLink FTP - free and idiot proof (LLFTPAR2.exe)

Hey, El Fenix - what command string would I use for your DOS shell FTP

Say I wanted to transfer a file "temp2" in the C drive from (host IP)192.168.0.5 to 192.168.5.5

Leap FTP -- the best FTP client ever. Small footprint too.

 

[DanFungus]

Smart FTP vote agian, and CuteFTP is not free, it runs for 30 days and shuts down till you pay.

 

[mk52]

why dont they just use IE

 

[MrCodeDude]

I like WS_FTP LE but then Cute FTP is a good FTP client which you can make "free."

ya I like Cute FTP. Works great for me.

 

[d0ofy]

LeechFTP is the best freeware client, while BulletProof FTP is the best in general.

 

[IgorFL]

Leech FTP, if you can still find it lying around
