Your fav FREE FTP client?

Sorry for lame topic but I am in need for a free Windows GUI FTP client -- what do you use? I tried FTP Voyager and while it's cool with Explorer-type interface and other features I dont need anything that fancy...plus it's $50 USD a pop.

Suggestions?
Thanks.

Blah, ms-dos prompt. Command line = real way to do things.

I prefer Secure FTP v2.5.5(latest). Its free + secure.

Secure FTP is a free client package that allows for a secure connection to be made to an FTP daemon. In this release, we support connecting via the Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL. Future releases may support other authentication mechanisms (e.g. Kerberos, one-time-passwords).

lol....I knew that was coming and I agree.

Hey, your talking to someone who uses the command religiously for lots of things. Use the Windows resource kit utilities (CL mind you) over anything GUI. Not to mention the pen/security test tools I use which 90% CL...I love getting my hands dirty. ;)

I just need a basic FTP client to upload crap to my personal websites.

Thanks for the replys so far.

My favorite win32 ftp client is smart ftp

Give it a try. You'll like it. But I provide no guarantee.
The main reason I like it is because if your xfer gets interrupted, you can pick up where you left off. You can also control upload/download speeds. Setup queues and such.

I like LeechFTP for its portability.

Hey Hey,

I really like WS FTP LE... which no longer exists in that format, but I've had it for ages now.. It's a handy lil FTP app in my mind..

I've used nftp from the CLI and I do religiously use the CLI ftp command as well... I guess it all depends on what you're doing.

I've used the built-in explorer FTP on almost a daily basis for the last year or 2 and I use the Dreamweaver built-in FTP software half the time...

SmartFTP is what we provide at the college since it's free.

Peace
HT
