I used to really like filezilla version 2...but version 3 rubs me up the wrong way. It keeps disconnecting (which, according to the filezilla forums is quite normal and not filezilla's fault?)

anywho...any other awesome free ftp programs for me to use?

Why not stick with v2? Im still using it, I also didn't like v3.

Why does it have to be "free"?

The best FTP programme without doubt (in my opinion) is WS FTP Pro. It's not free but neither does it cost a fortune.

SmartFTP. The best I have used but you will need to renew it every so often but its still free.
I bought it in the end so that I wasn't always forced to update it when a new version came out.

As I use the Firefox browser, I use the FireFTP add-on.

You have to pay for SmartFTP now - SmartFTP - Free

I hadn't realised that. But its a good and very powerful ftp tool worth the money.

OK-- can I just point out that the FTP protocol uses plain text format to submit your username and password over the Internet? Perhaps if you're security conscious you might want to forget about using FTP applications and move to using SFTP (Secure-FTP) or SCP (Secure-Copy) protocol?

If you're a Windows user, I personally use and would highly recommend WinSCP, an open-source, freeware client application for FTP, SFTP, SCP protocols. Check it out...

Vger: If you liked WS FTP Pro, you'll love WinSCP!! All the power of FTP with PuTTY/shell commands thrown in!! (means you can copy over a zip file and then decompress it on the server etc all from within WinSCP).

Hi fluxman,

You can search it on Google yourself. You will get many FTP program for free.

Hope this will help you!

All the best!

Another great client that is very fast at uploading a huge bunch of small files (great for this here hosting business thing) is FlashFXP:

FlashFXP by iniCom Networks - FTP Client Software

It's 25$ but it's worth it IMHO.

At Matt's suggestion I purchased FlashFXP a couple of years ago. I am very satisfied with it.

Since I manage over 50 websites, I used FlashFXP daily and really have no complaints about it. I certainly would recommend it.
