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

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



 
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!
