346967 2005-04-20 15:13:00 ... All I want is a basic FTP programme that I don't have to pay for. Can anyone reccomend something.

If you are a Windows user, then they don't come any more basic, free and easier than good ol' DOS-based ftp. Just open up a DOS prompt and type ftp. The command set can be obtained by typing ? or help, and there is very little there though - all you need really is to move around the local and remote directories, (m)put and (m)get - what could be easier than that?

If you are a Linux user, just type ftp into a console, or for security, install sftp.

Both ugly as sin and maybe frightening at first though.

346969 2005-04-20 21:38:00 SmartFTP is good.


The ones I've tried so far are LeechGet (my main download manager) FlashGet and some other one which wasnt very good at even managing downloads.I've always found FlashGet brilliant.

346970 2005-04-21 01:32:00 Another one is FireFTP (http://fireftp.mozdev.org) which is a free plug-in for the Mozilla Firefox browser. I have found it to be quite good, especially for the price :) Simply_Si (354)

Looks like gftp, apart from it doesnt have the transfer box (were it lists the files it's going to transfer.)

346972 2005-04-21 02:15:00 does flashget have spyware? Prescott (11)
346973 2005-04-21 02:45:00 It desnt have spyware but the free version is supported by ads, unlike LeechGet 2004 (www.leechget.net) (it also has a nice interface unlike most download managers). So does anyone know of one that can manage a download from a private ftp server? sal (67)
346974 2005-04-21 02:49:00 I use BlazeFtp - a great small client Dannz (1668)
346975 2005-04-21 03:26:00 Flashget can log onto private ftp's...... Metla (12)
346976 2005-04-21 03:43:00 That's right... WinSCP... Good software that I use all the time to do things via SSH :)

Didnt remember it did FTP too, but yeah, good, simple, and totally free :)
