What do you use for FTP?

[Lynn Terry]

I am still using an FTP client I started using back in the 90's, then called Windows Commander, now called Total Commander. I need to know what everyone else is using & recommending so that I can create a simple FTP tutorial (unless someone wants to offer ).

What FTP client are you using?

[AlexNewell]

I'm glad you are doing a tutorial Lynn - this is a big problem for Newbies and it took me ages to learn how to do something I now do in a couple of seconds!

Filezilla is the first ftp that worked for me and is what I use now.

I use FileZilla as well. The price is right (free) and I find it pretty easy to use.

Thank you - that's what I was thinking!

Shannon... I sent you an email about Elite Membership. Did you get that? I'll get you upgraded here at the new forum

I've been using CyberDuck for Mac. Works great, but has the One Window at a time kind of UI. I'm actually looking to get a "Paid" ftp program coz I'm afraid "CyberDuck" is going to spoil me and keep me stupid (FTP-stupid that is) because it is so easy, one could easily overthink it.

However, I'm still not yet comfortable with the technology now that I have more than just 2 or 3 blogs/sites I'm trying to maintain.

Lynn, You use Macs don't you?

I also use Cyberduck for Mac. I've tried a bunch, but keep coming back to the duck. It works great and it's free.

Yes, "The Quiet One" hawking in for FireFTP :P. It is a Firefox add on and it works beautifully for me.

I've used several FTP clients over the years, from paid (WS_FTP Pro) to other free clients (Smart FTP) and really like FireFTP.

That said, Filezilla is another popular FTP program and if I had to make another recommendation, that would be it.

Funny you ask because until just recently thanks to Traci and some other fine friends I learned what FTP was LOL I don't currently use one, Kev and I just do it all via Host Gator and XSitePro does it automatically. I'm not even sure how to explain it all to him so I'll look forward to a tutorial
