JN - Care to qualify your opinion? e.g why is it better than WS FTP Pro, par exemple?

i use either cute ftp (very good tho a little ott) or for a real basic, dead simple, non resource gobbling monster try windows commander.

Very nice and easy to use and doesnt require 128 meg to run it

Another vote for CuteFTP - I found it to be much faster than WS-FTP Pro...and things are just SO much easier.

Be alert about the programs you are downloading as some of the lesser-known ones may contain Spyware. Early versions of Cute contained dodgy add-ons.

I always check here if there's any doubt.

Andy, I downloaded this the other day as I needed a ftp client pronto so thought I try this one out. When the ftp tranfer completed the computer played a sound file of crowd cheering.

Well it amused me

I assume you mean that SmartFTP can't do this (I can't try it as I don't have it), because you can do it in WS FTP Pro.

You mean you're not gonna just take my word

Because of the bandwidth selector - it was a life saver when we had to transfer 400 MB files to a server (from the US to Germany) over the company WAN without it saturating the network.

Also - is the only one I could get working reliably through the company proxy

It also looks pretty!
