smartftp...no longer free

[Cienja]

I've use Smart FTP for the past year or so, but now they switched to a 13 day trial. I need a free FTP client. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I used to be such an avid user of SmartFTP but they've bogged down recent versions with it's vista style file copying and trial periods.

Filezilla is a great alternative, but such a crappy interface.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot today

I use FlashFXP but it's not free. I also use Filezilla on one of my computers and it's decent for a freebie. Gets the job done anyway, although I agree with Snapster that the UI is kind of crappy.

i like WS_FTP Pro ... again, it is not free
but it works very well and has a nice,
easy to use interface.

Filezilla, free and a good app.

You could also try FireFTP for the FireFox browser, and WinSCP. I use both of these for different situations.

I've been using Filezilla for 4 or 5 years now, so I don't notice any crappy interface at all.

That sucks... I loved smartFTP, I still have the first version that I don't think has the forced upgrade thing if anybody needs it let me know.

FileZilla, I'm not really content with it though. SmarFTP is much better, although I mostly use TotalCommander now, which has a built-in FTP client. However, it's not free either but you can use it fully without a licence, you will just get a reminder that the program is shareware each time you start the software.

I've been using FileZilla for the past couple of days and it does a good job for what I need. Thanks for all the posts!

FileZilla and FlashFXP.

FileZilla as others have said is freeware. FlashFXP is not, but IMO has better options. Comes with a 30-working-day trial.

Internet Explorer works just fine....

 

[earthman]

There is a free program call Classic FTP that looks exactly WS_FTP used to. I've used it and it works well.

You can still get older, free version of WS_FTP that work just fine.

I used to use SmartFTP, but now I use FileZilla. FileZilla has improved a bit recently.

I would use filezilla but it makes me turn my firewall off due to a bug ugh.

C:\FTP ?

Why not just keep the last free version of smartftp? It isn't like the ftp protocol has changed.
