Need new FTP Client

martin9887 · 22 Nov 2007 at 13:46

Been using FileZilla for ages, really good but lately it's been rubbish, failing on transfers, disconnecting all the time, etc.

What does everyone else use? needs to be free and work perfectly on Vista x64.

Thanks

i've gone back to version 2, version 3 is really buggy, been getting the same problems

bledd · 22 Nov 2007 at 13:54

was going to suggest filezilla

never had any problems in years

Core FTP light works well for me.

celliott · 22 Nov 2007 at 14:30

SmartFTP tbh

I'd be inetersted in this too.

FIlezilla for some reason wont create directories on my server - by that I mean if I upload a whole folder it wont work, unless I manuall create the folder and then drag the content in. Fine most of the time but not when uploading a whole site!

Been using coreftp for a while and thats ok but randomly crashes if I try and upload/download too much at one.

Is cuteFTP any good? Seems to have the functionality I need, including FTP to FTP whcih could be useful from time to time.

think cute you have to pay for

rewindurmind · 22 Nov 2007 at 15:32

FileZilla. Full of bugs though.

Lately, Filezilla has got really pap

I might revert back to an old skool version

wsftple ive used for years and is good and its free.

Viper² · 22 Nov 2007 at 15:46

WSFTP is the best I've used... and I've used most of them.

Where can I download an older version of FileZilla? failing that I think I'll give CoreFTP a try. Thanks guys

filezilla3 is absolutely terrible. you can't even right click local files to edit them (yet you can with remote files)? :confused:

i'm using filezilla2. no problems at all.

bledd · 22 Nov 2007 at 19:58

good thing about filezilla is all you need to run it is the exe and then it creates an xml file to store the settings, so handy to have on a usb stick

FireFTP if you're on Firefox.

Supercow · 22 Nov 2007 at 23:04

Fire FTP plugin for firefox is great, I would reccomend it

Draeger · 22 Nov 2007 at 23:08

Been using CuteFTP for about a year now.

Really easy to navigate and use, never had a bit of bother with it.

Can't really recommend any others as have not used any.
