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.
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.
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 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.)
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.
