What is the Best FTP Client?

Posted: November 20, 2008 | Filed Under All Posts, Downloads, Segments

fz3_win_main What is the best FTP client out there today?  One word…

FileZilla!

Now I have used my fair share of crappy FTP programs, and all of them seem to be lacking in one area or the next.  FileZilla though, is almost perfect from head to toe.  Here are some of the best features it provides:

  • Easy to use
  • Available in many languages
  • Supports resume and transfer of large files >4GB
  • Powerful Site Manager and transfer queue
  • Drag & drop support

So can I come up with anything negative to say about FileZilla?  Well, if there was one thing that bugs me it is the fact it is not a very pretty program.  Then again, just about every FTP client out there today is ugly as sin – so can’t fault it for too long there.

Want to try it yourself?  They have versions for Macs, Windows and Linux – so pick the version that is right for you on filezilla-project.com.  Know of an FTP client that is better than FileZilla?  Go ahead and leave a comment.

I would love to be proved wrong.
