Does anyone use CuteFTP Pro?

[Zachery]

I'd love to get another license for 3 dollars myself

there is a bug in windows 7 and windows vista where it doesn't get rid of temp files when you exit the client.
Also sometime between cuteftp pro 3 and cute ftp pro 7/8 they got rid of the AMAZING overwrite/resume/etc dialog. It is a shadow of its former self.

They also removed the ability to view passwords you have set for your ftp client. They claim there is no way to view them. Even though in the past you could just export the sites.

How can they possibly STORE the password in a way we cannot view it if it has to be sentout in plaintext? Just silly decisions. Like I can understand wanting the feature, but at least give each user an option to disable it, or a password to view the stored passwords.

I am still using Windows XP pro so maybe that is why I haven't seen this. I would post back in that bug report and ask them if they are working on the fix yet. Sometimes things get lost in the shuffle.

Did you ever ask them why they got rid of it?

I would guess their reason might be for security purposes. Everyone seems to be on that bandwagon lately with all of security issues we have been seeing.

Yea, but make it user choice. Its not like they host the client for me or something. Its on my personal computer. If I want to export the sites and their passwords for my own safe keeping let me.

We're not talking about me storing my passwords in someone elses database. This is my own computer.

I agree. I was just saying that that would be their reason, I would think.

[Zachery]

I get the reasoning, but the inability to disable it if a user so choses is not cool.

[Boofo]

No it isn't, if they had it there at one time on the past. Did you report the change to them and ask them why they removed it?

[Zachery]

I was told it was done for security, and that it was impossible to undo :/

I think everyone is getting nervous now with some of the bigger sites being hacked and all of the privacy issues of sites like Facebook, etc. It was bound to happen, I guess.
