i just tried flashFXP. looks really good. however in transfers is extremly slow comparing to SecureFX, with SSH mode on. is wierd. what i like on flashFXP is the way you dispose your folder files etc.. really good advice. thanks. but what do i do with the transfers? when i upload 32 files to the server, is really slow. secureFX is done way before that.

i used secureFX because my host recommended this one.. i have no idea why. i guess it has to do with the fact they have enabled SSH connections? i also cannot telnet, to make a backup for example without a SSH client. so i;m forced in a way to use this kind of software.

CuteFTP Pro

I currently use WS FTP Pro, but I'm wondering if any of these other ones have a 'keep-alive' type function. Where it sends something to the server so you don't get disconnected if you sit there for 300 seconds and not doing anything. When I'm working on something, I don't always upload every 300 seconds and this gets annoying having to reconnect every time.

flashFXP and secureFX do have a keep alive.

flash is alot nicer in design. but is extremly slow. i'm used to send alot of small files, 10-15k each and flash is really slow dissapointed because i really love it. ont he other hand, secureFX flies but it desnt have a good looking interface like flashFXP.

i use FTP expert v1.0

I had tested the v2.0 a few months ago but not satisfied :-/

I have you all beat. I use Windows Commander 5.0. It has the keep alive built in also and it is what I use for my file manager anyway, so the theme and options stay the same. It looks the same while doing FTP as it does while file managing. Great program! :)

(It is like the old Norton Commander (for those of you that remember) with 2 windows side by side.)

url?

I don't use FTP generally. I just ssh into my server and use sz/rz for file uploading and downloading. If I need to access someone else's ftp, I just use ncftp from my server.

I use either SmartFTP or AceFTP Freeware
