Free FTP Client

[divine]

After having used SmartFTP for god knows how long, it seems it is no longer free.

Any suggestions for alternatives?

filezilla?

Been using it for years now and it does everything I need it to.

If you use Firefox, FireFTP is pretty decent.

WinSCP is the one I normally use. It's primarily for SCP, but does FTP just fine.

SmartFTP hasn't been free for years. Maybe they've got a bit 'smarter' about their nag screens however (in the past I just reinstalled when I got nagged, but I've not used SmartFTP for ages - I tend to use Linux command-line tools mostly now).

Well, the last version I used was 2.0 which said it was 'Free for personal use'

Now the screen says they no longer do any free version and the download is a 30day trial.

I'll have a look at some of those others.

DOS prompt or Linux terminal

DOS prompt is a bad idea - it tends to hang lots for me. That's mainly because Microsoft took the braindead decision to provide only the bare minimum functionality (e.g. no passive FTP). Linux (or even Cygwin on Windows) are of course fair game.

I just use FireFTP because it's built straight into Firefox. I used it to replace Smart FTP about 18 months ago.

I use FireFTP as well although I'll admit I've no idea how good it would be if you're a heavy user.

I've grabbed FireFTP, seems fine for my needs. I'm hoping to put a solution in place soon that will remove the need for direct FTP anyway.

I always used to use FTP Explorer, it was free and pretty basic but it worked, dunno if it's still around.

I'm another one who uses FireFTP. It's handy for what I need and saves installing a separate client.
