Best FTP program?

[Ed30]

Which is the best FTP program for commercial sites?

Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

I use Cute FTP, very simple!

For comercial sites - you mean for added security?

There are some security holes with a few old FTP programs, passwords can be stolen - but their are patches and updates.

Also there is TELNET and SSL (or is it SSH?) or added security.

I'm a fan of cuteftp ... think I am on day 390 of my 30 day trial

I also like the CuteHTML that comes with CuteFTP - it does things that lots of larger editors can't do.

CuteFTP Pro....think i am on day 391 of my version..astalavista helped a lot

i use ACE FTP read my thread in the lounge .... HIGH SPEED 56K lol

that was a screenshot of me uploading to my webhost lol not bad for a 56k dialup lol

and the best one by far (IMO) is BulletProof FTP
the best free one is WS-FTP

If you are concerned about security, don't use FTP.

Use SSH

Go to SSH.com and download SSH Secure Shell. It works like an FTP program but is secure.

I think the commercial version of WS-FTP also allows SSH.

Ask your Hosting provider if you can use SSH instead of FTP.

SSH is complicated.. i tried to use it for my surceforge project and tnever understood it lol

SmartFTP

SmartFTP, looks nice and is very easy to use! Oh, the price ($0) is also one of the great features

[jessdesigns]

SmartFTP gets my vote too!

FlashFXP is THE only way to go.

Use it once and you won't switch back
