I was just wondering what is the best ftp software? I've heard of a few i'm just looking for a recommendation from all of you.
Free would be nice but, I know you don't get much for free.

I use WS_FTP LE and CuteFTP but I was wondering the same thing as I'm not totally satisfied with these two FTP client programs... any other better ones?

i use FlashFXP, imo the best ftp client available. allows server to server transfers aswell as server to client.

I used to use cuteftp all the time, but the newer versions have too many junk features that get in the way (like the file transfer queue).

If I could find an old version, that would be cool (like 1.0), but I've just settled for using ws_ftp for now. Ws_ftp is simple, but it's got a dumb layout and retarted looking buttons :)

OLD fxp is the best.. the new versions are starting to get a tad bloated. Still even the newer FXP clients destroy CuteFTP, WAS_FTP, etc etc...

Hail to the king.

I used CUTE for a long time. Then switched to WS, and then tried ACE, WAR, and some others. I sort of hung onto LEAPFTP and really sort of like it. Has a few nice features, but it's probably about time to start looking at others to see what new features have been added.

I've used Cute for years, but I HATE the new version. So I too am in the market for a new one.

Vandykes AbsoluteFTP. I heard about it and decided to try it after using the most wonderful SecureCRT at work everyday. No problems with it, I like the interface of it. I have also used in the past KnoWares internet neigborhood, which integrates into the windows shell. The nice thing is that you can use it to map ftp space as a hard drive.

What's good about Bulletproof ftp client? I seems to hear it a lot.... any comments? Thanks!
BTW, I did some experiment before to compare CuteFTP and WS_FTP Pro... apparently if you are on T1 line, WS_FTP Pro's performance (downloading a big file) is much better than CuteFTP... just a quick FYI...

Seems theres no land slide judgement here so I'm going to try ws-ftp and Windows Commander. (thanks vincent I downloaded this a month ago and misplaced it).I used cute ftp about a year ago and I wasn't impressed and from the sounds of it they lost or are losing a lot of market share. Too Bad !!!
:)
Thanks for all the opinions
