If you mean FTP client, try Filezilla or SmartFTP

WS_FTP_LE and LeechFTP are two other good free ones.

For the Firefox users, there is a very good extension that enables you to use FTP in a tab. :link: I'm testing it as we speak.
Otherwise it's Filezilla all the way.

WSFTP LE is far and away the worst FTP client I've ever had the misfortune of using.

I personally use the Lite (free) version of Core FTP
http://www.coreftp.com/

As for what people see in WSFTP LE I just don't know, as bifta says, it's bad!
I would rather use the dos FTP command line program than WSFTP.

What exactly are people's problems with WS_FTP_LE? I've been using it for ages and it does the job I need!

The only nuisance is that it tends to time out and means you have to reconnect, but that's hardly a major drawback.

I've never had any problems with it, (WS_FTP) and still occaisionaly use it to create text files listing the ftp dir contents.

LeechFTP is the forerunner of bitbeamer, and supports multithreading and other nice goodies.

I have been using ws-ftp95-le for years without any problems. For editing files I use .edit because I can load files from an ftp server as though they were local and just click on save when I have done. :)

Filezilla is the best FTP client out there, open source too. :)
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net

WS_FTP is crap, end of story.

There is no such thing as "the best FTP client" its all personal preference.

And my dad's car is faster than your dad's car because it's a red one...! :rolleyes:

Now how about some *sensible* comments to back your viewpoint up?
