The developers claim that Wise-FTP can connect to any FTP site which is quite a claim. In tests however, it's proved somewhat hit and miss and didn't seem to connect to anymore servers than most other FTP clients.

The program does feature however a user-friendly drag & drop interface and allows you to edit files and folders directly on the FTP server. It's also able to perform simultaneous transfers plus synchronisation of directories and task planner. It also includes more standard features such as secure file transfer via SFTP and auto-connect if it drops a connection.

Apart from the fact it connects to a wide range of servers, the integrated HTML editor is perhaps the only other stand out feature of Wise FTP enabling you to edit files on a remote system in real-time. Another nice touch is that there is a scheduler which you can use to automate transfers whilst away from your PC.

In summary, there's nothing particularly outstanding about Wise FTP although it would probably be a good start for beginners to FTP file transfers due to it's user-friendly interface and layout.

You could pretty much consider FileZilla an open source success story. It's popular, works well and fast, and regularly updated.

If you're looking for a solid FTP client what more could you ask more? In fact, FileZilla is not just limited to FTP, but also handles FTPS and SFTP for secure transfers of multiple files on multiple servers. The interface gives you a quick outlook of all your transfers, sites and disks and makes it easy to drag and transfer. I also quite like the QuickConnect feature to access your favorite server in seconds.

FileZilla is known to be fairly fast, and can also resume downloads and handle very big transfers, I'm talking here higher than 4 GB. You can set both local and remote filters for things like images, explorer files or CVS and SVN directories or even create your own. FileZilla also includes a tool to compare directories in terms of file size or modification time.

The application can guide you when setting up your network and lets you set speed limits in case you don't want to overload your bandwidth.

One thing really missing from FileZilla though is a scheduler to automatically set transfer times.

Despite lacking a scheduler, FileZilla is an excellent open source FTP client. It's stable, fast and very efficient. Highly recommended.
