Smart way to do FTP - SmartFTP

There are many FTP clients out there, whether commercial package or free. And each person has his own preference and hence favorites. As for me I have been using SmartFTP for a number of years, and have found it to be likeable , easy to use and meet all my basic needs. If you know how to drag and drop, then you might find this to your liking.

For the novice: FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the way two parties (a client and a server) communicate to transfer files between the two.

SmartFTP is an FTP client which allows you to transfer files between your local computer and a server on the Internet. SmartFTP also offers secure, reliable and efficient transfers that make it a powerful tool. A long list of features you will find in SmartFTP are:

• Secure Connections (TLS / SSL) - 168 bit, HIPAA compliant
• Modern Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• File/Folder Synchronization
• Multilingual (more than 20 languages)
• Supports IPv6
• On-the-fly Compression (MODE Z)
• Drag & Drop
• Multiple Connections
• Auto reconnect and resume of broken transfers
• Transfer Integrity
• FXP (Server-To-Server Transfer) support
• Remote Edit of files
• Transfer Queue
• Proxy / Firewall support
• and more..

If you do not understand half of what those features are all about, don't worry about it. All your basic needs are covered. The bottom line is when you come to understand what they are and have the need for them, you won't find them lacking in this program.

This is a commercial program, and the price is quite reasonable. But you may try out the free unlicensed version, which does have an expiration limitation. However you can continue to use it if you reinstall with the latest version when it expires. To download this program or for more information, visit their website.
