FileZilla has become one of the most popular FTP clients on the net and with good reason - it's fast, reliable and packed with lots of cool features.

Now things just got better with the introduction of a portable version that you can take anywhere - superb for web administrators of all abilities and backgrounds. Like it's bigger brother, the program supports the resuming of downloads and uploads, detects when a connection has timed out and features support for firewalls, SFTP, SSL and more. Best of all, it's retained the drag and drop functionality of the original too so it's easy enough for use for anyone not familiar with FTP clients. The interface and preferences are a bit limited but you can see at a glance all of your transfers. It also includes a handy "Quickconnect" function which basically allows you to reconnect to your most frequent FTP sites instantly. You'll also be impressed by the general speed of the application although it does tend to drop connections as a security timeout feature which can be annoying. You can also set limits on how much of your bandwidth it uses if you're worried about it hogging it.

The classic FTP client that you can now take anywhere - what more could you ask for.

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.

AbleFtp is designed with those users in mind that need automate FTP transfers without having to constantly manage them themselves.

The program is extremely easy to use with no programming or scripting required and features an attractive GUI for an FTP client which by and large are usually pretty drab affairs. It's designed to run up to 1000 or more tasks a day which is an incredible amount that most people will have no need for but indicates that even business users may get some mileage out of this program too. If you have any urgent problems, the program also offers free technical support so you don't have to upgrade if you get stuck although major upgrades have to be paid for. There's no denying however that the big draw of this client will be the scheduling and remote access options. You can schedule FTP of files between your PC and the server and even automatically rename files based on the current month, day or time if needed. In addition, FTP supports wildcards (*) and can transfer multiple files at once. Meantime if you want to monitor your transfers from afar, the remote FTP directory monitor can detect directory changes and initiate FTP, ZIP, copy and delete actions.

It may not be the most advanced FTP client you'll ever use but it's certainly one of the most intuitive and automated and therefore, a great time saver.

WebDrive is more than an FTP Client. By connecting to WebDAV, FTP, or SFTP servers through a virtual drive, files are transferred by simply saving them to a drive letter. There's no need to run a separate FTP client interface. Unlike typical FTP clients, WebDrive lets you open and edit server based files without the additional download step.

WebDrive has built-in support for the industry standard SSL protocol. When used in conjunction with secure WebDAV, FTP or SFTP servers, WebDrive will open an encrypted tunnel between the client computer and the remote server; giving you secure transmission of critical data over the Internet. WebDrive can even be used as an alternative to a corporate VPN. Install the WebDrive client, and an SSL enabled server, and WebDrive can act as the VPN for your company, an efficient alternative to an expensive VPN or non-secure FTP client connections.

Features:

• SFTP support
• WebDAV support
• Firewall/Proxy server support
• SSL Support for secure file transfer
• FTP resume interrupted download
• File caching to enhance FTP Client performance
• S/KEY Password Encryption - MD4 & MD5 for supported FTP servers

FTP clients can range from the utterly incomprehensible to the ridiculously easy and this one definitely falls into the latter category.

This means that it doesn't necessarily feature everything that you'd expect from an FTP client but it's certainly an excellent start for beginners and you can be sure your files will get transferred when you want them to. That's not to say m2ftp is short on features. Indeed, it includes everything you'd expect from such a client including a very easy to use and well presented GUI for administration of data files and simple but straightforward buttons for delete, renaming copy etc.

Connections are established with minimum fuss and you can display just about any type of data located on the server. Sometimes the browsing through server files can lag a little but it's nothing serious and can depend on your server response time anyway. There's an easy to use drag and drop interface so it's easy as using Windows Explorer to move and manage files plus you can move huge batches of files at the same time. What's also nice is that there's a clear status bar telling you exactly the status of your transfer, how fast it's going and when it should be complete.

It may only be limited to uploading and downloading but m2ftp is a refreshingly efficient, easy to use and very well presented client that's an ideal start for beginners to FTP.

FlashFXP is a powerful and flexible FTP/FXP client. FlashFXP provides an easy-to-use interface that incorporates the latest security, advanced options and features. FlashFXP uses a familiar explorer like interface designed for even the most novice user to be able to master in minutes.

Terrapin FTP is designed with comprehensive full functionality in mind. It's also highly suitable for beginners as it features a superb web wizard which takes you thorough those first nervous steps of uploading files to your website by FTP for the first time. With Terrapin FTP transferring files - whether uploading or downloading - it's simply a matter of dragging and dropping. You can even synchronize whole directories in one drag drop operation. The Terrapin Interface gives you a comprehensive view of what's going on at all times and file indicators mean that you can see whether files have changed at a glance.

You can build your own custom commands, reconcile entire directory structures with the click of a button, perform inter-server transfers by a simple drag and drop operation. This is perhaps one of the nicest features - just drag and drop as you would with explorer although it's not that unusual for an FTP server. The most unique feature is that fact that you can use macros to record and save a series of FTP transactions. These can then be re-played in one on-line session as many times and whenever you wish. However in practice this gets quite fiddly and there's not really much call for it anyway.

This is an excellent FTP server for both beginners and advanced users with tons of interesting options to explore.

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.
