  • Didn’t get a chance last week to add my ftp for the Mac … surprised that no one added it – CaptainFTP. It’s an App that I’ve used since 2002, I believe.

    While the interface could use a bit of a re-design, I’ve never had any issues with it and has all the features I’ve ever needed.

  • Is this list in order of most to least popular according to comments and feedback received?

  • They’re actually not listed in any order. I should’ve put numbers next to them based on preferences though.

    I’ll update the list with any additional programs people name in the comments.

  • Maybe someone can tell me why you’d need external FTP programs? Unless I’m missing something all you need is a way to get files to/from a server.

  • Technically, the FireFTP/firefox extension won’t be limited by operating system, so it probably shouldn’t be under “Windows”.

    Thanks for the tip though, I’ll be checking it out…

  • @FREQ – some of us don’t like command line FTP and aren’t near our servers enough to walk the data over via disk

  • Potato: That’s not what I ment. In the other post I mentioned I ues IE to do all my FTPing because all I need is file uploading. I ment ‘external’ to be ‘not part of Windows, natively’. The only reason I can think of is secure FTP.

  • For Linux almost any file manager can do FTP (Konqueror, Nautilus, even Midnight Commander). You can always use command-line lftp of course.
