recommends FileZilla.
filezilla, smartftp, winscp. In that order
FileZilla and of course putty's sftp
Internet Exploder??? works adequately for download, but I'm not sure about upload
+2 for Filezilla. Works like a charm for me.
I use AceFTP but I'm not sure it's the best
WinSCP is great it does FTP & SCP
filezilla without a doubt
ok, now I have to look at Filezilla
that when he is forced to use windows - filezilla works but doesn't support SSH2 keys
FlashFXP is what I use when I have to use my windows box.
FireFTP is the way to go these days, but I still have an old version of CuteFTP installed that works great.
BeyondCompare makes for a nice FTP client.
FireFTP... it's just an extension for FireFox
try core ftp lite (it's free)
Filezilla++ (good for sftp too)
old fashioned cuteftp
I use FireFTP, now I have to go see what Filezilla is about
I still use BulletProof FTP.
filezilla or fireftp for firefox
WinSCP was my choice back in my nearly forgotten days of Windows
Leo, you have way more replies here than on FriendFeed
believes
shaf should use putty for SSH2 key support.
I like WinSCP, it's simple and easy.
2nd what
clith said - set a keys with puttygen, load them into pageant, and you are good to go...
heard someone say "FileZilla"
thanks shaf
I definitely vote for Filezilla too
Filezilla is the best, as I use it on 'nix as well.
believes in not using windows at all
clith... You're welcome
iPating
FileFTP is wonderful on Firefox.
WinSCP - secure, PuTTy enabled... great tool
LOL... you still use wsftp.. go with filezilla... it is most robust gui-based
I've tried Filezilla, CuteFTP, FlashFXP and I just keep coming back to Core FTP lite.
Personally I use Filezilla for my client, and crush for my server.
seems I've arrived late to the party (as usual) but my vote is for Filezilla.
I use Filezilla and SmartFTP
it's been said, but I'll say it again...filezilla
I use CuteFTP... costs, but it's reliable.
Definately FileZilla, also has a portable version.
fireftp with firefox is pretty good... doesn't work with FF3, yet, though...
95% use SSH ftp (built into SSH) but if target doesnt support secure then FileZilla. SSH also has compression - It Flys!
I've used CuteFTP for years--it's the best, and has a pretty good HTML editor right in it.
Filezilla, open source and grate
granted smartftp is commercial (free for noncommercial), its still the best FTP client I've ever used
agrees with
slaguzman Filezilla is the best and free at that
filezilla is getting better all the time
winSCP is good fast and also free. And it comes in a portable version.
I've used filezilla and its nice that it's free, multiple upload workers and automatic uploading of edited files in smartftp makes it better
for windows I like WinSCP
confused - the problem is Windows, not the FTP client!
FileZilla. I can't use "Loves", but it works quite nicely and it's free.
I'm using FireFtp (a FireFox Extension) and I love it.
someone to poke the FireFTP developers with a pointy stick to get them to port over to FF3.
Filezilla works very well and is update often.
clith
wishes 16 years ago
he could unsubscribe from this specific thread..
props to Mr Guilt - Command line FTW!
I've used LeapFTP for years but after seeing all these responses I guess I should check out Filezilla
use sftp from the command line, not ftp
My vote goes to SmartFTP.
i like cuteftp and filezilla
I am a huge fan of Filezilla. It is very Easy to Use
Ive heard firezilla is cool but I'm not in that world mate...
CyberDuck or Transmit rock! .. oh wait..
swemoney, now now, be nice. Something Windows user never get to experience. Don't tease them
.
evan is right.. He'll stop teasing windows users now..
Another vote for FileZilla
SmartFTP, but some people like FileZilla
I vote for fireftp, myself!
add another vote for Filezilla
that CuteFTP isn't getting enough votes. I haven't used Windows in a while, but when I did, CuteFTP was my boy, blue.
command-line FTP
WinSCP, plus it's more secure
another vote for FileZilla, love it since it uses ssh to encrypt file transfers.
I also use scp when I'm using cygwin X-windows.
Smart FTP, without a doubt
SmartFTP all the way! It is by far the best client I have ever used. Free for personal or educational use!
tossing in his vote for filezilla
Paul Thurott recommends Firezilla too
I just heard it on TwitLive
oops Filezilla not Firezilla.... Long Day
Filezilla. I like it because it has both client and server versions.
yeah, I also would say Filezilla
"best" is sooo subjective, "need more input, more input" ~Johnny # 5
"Nice software" though
i've used winscp tho i prefer sftp, scp, & ssh over cleartext transfers. still in disbelief ftp is used in this day & age of security
fireftp is a great, cross-platform option, but suggests loading it in a non-default FF profile so fewer extensions most times.
suggests WinSCP too. Despite its name, it also does plain old FTP.
Filezilla always works for me.
agrees w/
jeffarkin. ftp is unfortunately a necessity but should go the way of telnet -used no more in place of something more secure.
FileZilla hasn't failed me yet -- just the right amount of features, completely usable
I've always been fond of FlashFXP, been using it for years.
use your mac and cyberduck
Leech. Doesn't get any easier!
Filezilla 3.0.10. It is now blazing fast.
filezilla for sure!
that filezilla works just right for him
a little program called os x
Jk, jk
mike868y Actually the FTP client in OS X sucks quite a lot.
Yeah I got the jk.
Wzot I know the default one does, but freeware cyberduck works good as does transmit
I still use ws_ftp, but have been trying out fireftp recently.
filezilla best free ftp soft
I really, really *HEART* Bitkinex. I've used it for two years now and never looked back.
to know why there is so much to say about ftp on windows.
Windows Vista!!
As everyone else, Filezilla
FileZilla works well for me.
has anyone said "It depends..." yet?
(no, I didn't carefully read 200+ responses...
)
I agree, I have been using ws_ftp for like 10 years now and i am ready for something new!
FlashFXP as an all-around FTP client foe windows. If only it was free...
you know you can simply fire up a CMD window and type "ftp" at the command line. Even in Vista.
Firefox or just good old ftp
filezilla....there's a mac version too
I used FileZilla when I was still a windows boy
if your active use fireftp for fire fox but the best i have use as software was cute ftp great and useful UI
Ditch FTP if possible and go with SCP, using WinSCP or some such.
SmartFTP
CoreFTP Lite is best as needed SFTP and it was only free app that I liked
since I rarely use ftp I go for filezilla on a stick (portable apps).
FileZilla is the best. I use it when Dreamweaver's won't cut it
ssh into your linux box with putty, then ftp... or just use filezilla
Filezilla #314159265358979...
FILEZILLA....Server & Client
one more vote for filezilla
I'm a big fan of SecureFX
this thread should come to an end. Are you even reading this anymore Leo?
I loved FileZilla back when i had a winbox.
filezilla works like a charm
zmama
thinks 16 years ago
filezilla is a pain and prefers Smart FTP -- it has never failed me!
zmama has to work for SmartFTP is he doesn't like FileZilla haha. JK of course
FileZilla is pretty solid.
konqeror and pure terminal "ftp" and I hate windows, but filezilla is good.
Oh, and WinSCP is just great.
Leo is a convert but he had a bit of equity built up on Twitter...so for now he'll remain bi
this is the longest convo I've seen on plurk so far - think I'll add to it
definitely filezilla
Filezilla has always worked great for me
did anyone switch the conversation to *FTP clients for Mac* yet
leo, i like filezilla and it's FREE
i think the nail's already been driven in on this topic
this topic would be deleted.
Yeah how many responses is this gonna get? I have a sense that 2 years from now (if I'm still on Plurk) this plurk will still be showing up.
I use a little thing called the command line. Works all the time. Very reliable.
Can I command line this thread? I'm a little sick of it showing up constantly.
purplecar me too, so I took it as a sign that I need to post to it.
If we are talking FTP clients for the mac, I use FETCH. Now Leo, please delete this thread or close comments. PLEASE?
oh PurpleCar, you are such a tease
SmartFTP is nice although not free and I think a little too pricey but
iFTP is just as good and it's free.
succumb to peer pressure and downloaded the @$%!ing ftp client FILEZILLA. hope it has the 'fu to make up for the shilling in this thread
FileZilla, but I've tried "Ftp Expert" too, not bad either
I've changed my mind, just open a command prompt and type FTP servername and go from there...much better...
flashfxp is by far the best.
I have to say either FlashFXP or WinSCP
FileZilla...
Leo why is your Karma score so damn tiny?
Check out WinSCP. It let's you open FTP docs by just double-clicking them!
Always liked WS_ftp however SmartFTP is an option and of course Filezilla
"What is FilleZilla and does it taste good wrapped in bacon?"
this message is still being replied to? OMG
"This is the song that never ends. It goes on and on my friends..."
FileZilla is the best! It allows FTP and SFTP connections and profiles. FLOSS all the way!
YES! A MUTE BUTTON!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
the mute button looked upon this thread and smiled, because it realized that was why it had come.
i like pizza too. oops wrong
*old* plurk that never dies. mute button ftw
Another vote for filezilla
FTP Voyager works fairly well, it's not free though.
yo...filezilla!!
personally i get by just fine with FireFTP for Firefox
the new mute button!
and the survey says....Filezilla!
another vote for filezilla
filezilla works great for me
filezilla has been my ftp client of choice
yesterday FireFTP in Firefox, today's the same but I like FileZilla as a stand alone client. Like an OSS version of CuteFTP.
FireZilla in my opinion. Fast, easy, and free. If you use PSpad, it comes with a built in FTP client
jump on the FileZilla bandwagon.
CuteFTP
FileZilla is the best option on windows.
OMG, will this thread ever die?
if everybody mutes it, it will die
the more replies there are, the longer it takes to load when you click it. Can you mute just this comment, or will that mute leo too?
the mute seems self explanatory, but I hate to mute leo entirely on accident.
it just mutes the conversation
thanks spiderwebwoman.
winscp and thinks it is fine
I have to go with FileZilla, but Mac is a better option.
I used CuteFTP for many years before I switched to Mac! I would recommend that!
Windy attorneys to their client woes
filezilla or winscp
Filezilla definately , FlashFXP also works well ... but it's not FLOSS or free , so yeah ... definately filezilla
winSCP for the secure file transfers. Dreamweaver doesn't handle SCP/SFTP properly at times.
winSCP is awesome is also portable
Filezilla rules and is amazing and has a portable version
Are you still waiting to upload? Make up your mind.
Filezilla is my client of choice
Probably FileZilla is the best...
...
there GodZilla around? LMAO,
!
Oh yeah, it is me! Hi!
!
FireFTP is my chosen fave.. but ya gotta get Firefox to use it!
FF3 Horray FF3!
!
+1 for Filezilla (almost three weeks later)
wondering when this thread is going to die...
since I keep getting updates "New responses" from this old thread, I thought I'd add one and annoy the rest of you! btw, FileZilla FTW!
i use SmartFTP but it looks like i need to try Filezilla!
the best is a firefox pluging called fireftp try it out
Little help? I am in the running for a Macbook Air on Second Brain, join up, follow me and give me vote Dude
secondbrain.com/contest
Yumzilla!
!
"Total Commander" not the best, but I like it
Theres a plug in for firefox called fireftp. Used it only once seems ok. But plz let me know what you think.Cheap plug
www.totaltrinkets.com
what did you decide on leolaporte?
Smart FTP is better than FileZilla, WS_FTP and Cute FTP, especially the pro version.
I use FileZilla work for my needs.
Don't use FTP much. Can't really be of much use here.
I love cuteFTP. Simple, clean, easy. Never had a problem.
FileZilla works pretty well.
that the FileZillas have it!
i've always liked cuteFTP. any program with cute in the name is alright by me
amazed people are still replying to these.
I have used FireFTP, Filezilla, and WS_FTP and prefer the latter.. oh well..
the filezilla client and their server...very easy to use and always works!
I'm a bit old school. CuteFTP.
edieo Old school (definitely geek school) SSH command prompt.
Dreamweaver does support SFTP. Did it many times for my site before it moved to a CMS.
'sup Leo. Big fan here of G4 and The Lab. Filezilla is the bomb since SmartFTP recently became shareware....
smartFTP works great. just launch and restores to whatever sites I had open.
smart ftp is a really good
there is a nice firefox addon called fireftp that I like alot
if anyone knows of a plurk that has been replied to more times than this one, please post a link.ü Leo, your popularity is insane.
I think he's ok. This was originally posted on June 5th
I just use windows explorer. no need to make it special is there.
Cutulus but what about password-protected FTP sites?
i once used ftp, but then i awoke from a bad dream
Nothing like being early in and early out huh Leo.
shit, people are still responding to this old leo laporte post? Damn hid karma just spiked
FileZilla is a great FTP program with at an amazing price!
FileZilla is my preferred Windows FTP client ^^
filezilla or cute ftp for me
been using filezilla now for a week. It's replacing file explorer, less upload errors from here in Africa to USA
*mutes the dang plurk*
mentioned already, but FileZilla (tried many, and it's a winner in my humble opinion
I like FireFTP since it's simple.
his last post was on June 5, 2008 And this it. He has 483 responses to the question he asked then and has not been on since he asked.
SmartFTP is pretty solid.
hahah leo was gone long time ago.
FireFTP... add ons of mozzila..
I think that leo has the thing awnsered by now...lol
Wow Leo are you still plurking?
di di di please this plurk di
di di di!! please di plurk
I'm a fan of CuteFTP (features) and FireFTP (convenience)
I use CuteFTP and FireFTP
i don't know the best one but i use FireFTP
nooooo DI DI DI please noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This is an official announcement. Leo does not read this. Paul Thurott got him what he need. He don't care to know what FTP anyone else uses
once i used ftp and then i use pft and the pdf
I used pdf them WTF.... oops
this could be a secret club back here in the past
wonder if Leo minds? Aren't you going to bed?
i was; but then was helpping out with some CSS code an the pushed past the sleepiness
and leo never comes; so i'm sure it's okay
i once walked down street and lost
I've used BeyondCompare for years, but I think I'll have to look at Filezilla with all its votes!
my way back to the building i had left
I'm so broke I can't afford to pay attention
i noticed that the street signs had changed and i could not longer read them
I like the old school command line client, although fireftp for firefox works pretty well too.
so i continued to walk down the road to see where it would lead; i came upon a sight which would have blinded
it was leo and he was walking the streets without his computer!
glad he uses Filezilla - obviously one of the best FTP clients for Windows
FileZilla is my favorite, and its free.
DeluxeFTP is one I have used
another vote for Filezilla
another vote for Filezilla
filezilla, definitely. Best features, easiest to use, no bullshit.
Submit the next PandaBearz! move!
CuteFTP used it for years and love it
what the? cool so one day i was walking and saw a ghost
what are you doing back on June 5th
so the ghost told me it was the ghost of plurk past
the ghost of plurk past had brought me back to june 5th to relive the summer of '08
and the ghost said you have another chance now
the ghost of plurk said; you will know what to do, look and you will see
and you need to live the summer of 08 again
the PlurkTimeMachine is powerful
only few have mastered the knowleadge needed for the trip back in time; welcome to that group
i have used cuteftp for about 12 years and love it.
The PlurkTimeMachine is a wonderful thing
time travel too
i was thinking that someday the time machine would come back and it did!!
that what
krislynch said might help because I think this plurk started 12 years ago
not traveled in time much lately either
i found the machine last wk ; been hoping it doesn't get lost in time again
filezilla or smart ftp XD
filezilla or smart ftp XD
I used to be very happy with LeapFTP... when I used to FTP.
i was watching "The Time Machine" a Great and Wonderful Movie.
i was watching "The Time Machine" a Great and Wonderful Movie.
Smart FTP I like it.. ^_^
if Leo has made up his mind yet
alltools alftp. Free and as good as Cute, I think.
SmartFTP
"?
time travel
wow. best ftp client, i remember this
obviously, Filezilla FTW!
I'm on the FileZilla bandwagon
Filezilla. Because the name is so cool.
SmartFTP used to be really nice, until they started charging money for it. Now, I will only use FileZilla.
CuteFTP...but that's mainly cause it's free
or at least it was at one point
filezilla
can you fix my computer Leo? My computer guy is no good. Ill bring it to you!
I love time travel....
that it would be difficult to surpass Mozilla's FireFTP.
I didn't even know Leo had a Plurk account! Too bad he doesn't use it anymore.
Filezilla has another update
