What program are you guys using to connect to FTP??

[pillage2001]

I need one which is Shareware. Don't have money to register for one.

LMK. I was using cuteFTP before this but the evaluation period is out.

[prodigy]

Flash FXP

Win2K commandline ftp works fine for me! Or ftp in an IE6 window thing. Depends what I'm doing.

I think I'll give a try to SmartFTp first.

Thanks for the suggestion guys.

 

[Mucman]

SmartFTP or ftp.exe

 

[FrogDog]

CuteFTP Pro version 2. I'm sure the shareware version works fine too though.

Start>Run
then type ftp.xxx.yyy

login> either type anonymous or username if you have an account at that server
Pass> either type email addy or real pass if you have an account at that server

ls-l same as dir in dos
get filename > will download
send filename > will upload
cd directory name >changes directories
cd > root or home directory

Type man ftp if you have problems

 

[Zebo]

Oh yea or wsftp works well too.

[dukdukgoos]

I use Powerdesk and the FTP clients built into Homesite and Dreamweaver.

 

[FrustratedUser]

WS_FTP
Does what it is supposed to do.

Also the command line ftp works fine for smaller uploads.

Win2K commandline ftp on my system and cuteFTP on my son's rig

I've gotten a couple PM's about "where does it download the file when using the get command" and "and how do you tell it where to go"..So I thought I would just answer them here.

The default download directory on your HDD is the C: when using the get command. If you want to change that you need to first type the "local change directory" command followed up by directory name(s).

For example:

ftp> lcd /anydirectoryname/whateverdirectory/etc (changes the local download directory)
ftp> get filename.xxx (will now download that file to the directory you specified with the earlier command)


This setting will only be stored during that session!

FlashFXP rocks - many more features than WS_FTP - I don't understand why it's so popular... Must be the stubborn old-schoolers who don't want to try anything new...

And the command line sounds like a pretty inefficient way to work - we're using windows here, not stupid Unix!

ftp

(start > run > ftp)



Or smartftp
