I use Filezilla or Fireftp when I'm feeling lazy.

RE: FTP Client of choice? - khy - 07-27-2010

I use both filezilla and smartftp (mainly smartftp)
sometimes when smartftp not working, the filezilla may work fine and vice versa

I prefer "ftp" and "sftp" recently. (linux)

Huh, I would recommend you to try lftp instead. lftp offers a lot of benefits over the old netkit-ftp:
  1. The commands of lftp are almost the same with netkit-ftp;
  2. Native SFTP support, together with FXP, FTPS, HTTP(S), and WebDav, IPv6 support;
  3. Background jobs;
  4. Bookmark support;
  5. Scheduling support;
  6. Scripting support;
  7. Native mirroring support;
  8. netkit-ftp was last updated 10 years ago (July 8, 2000)...
Of course, if you are following Worse is better logic, it's another thing... :)

Yup, Worse is better.

RE: FTP Client of choice? - DarkI - 07-27-2010

yea filezilla is better and faster

RE: FTP Client of choice? - khy - 07-27-2010

filezilla works best on sftp
but smartftp works well on ftp

RE: FTP Client of choice? - kxjakkk - 08-07-2010

Filezilla hands down. Definitely the best, fastest and easiest to use.

RE: FTP Client of choice? - Render_07 - 11-23-2010

RE: FTP Client of choice? - bendzy72 - 11-29-2010
