We've been sending Windows clients to https://ninite.com/filezilla/ https://ninite.com/filezilla/ to download it but perhaps we ought to start avoiding it completely. I don't particularly like any other FTP client I've used in Windows, but its been a while since I looked.
- thrillgore 12y agoI've been a fan of Cyberduck for quite some time now.
- whoisthemachine 12y agoThat's a neat website and product. I've often wanted a quasi-package manager for Windows. Now I use Linux almost exclusively however :/.
- aswerty 12y agoFor something a bit less "quasi" there is https://chocolatey.org/ https://chocolatey.org/.
- panzi 12y agoA friend of mine uses this: http://portableapps.com/ http://portableapps.com/ (I use Linux.)
- slantyyz 12y agoIf you're on Windows, it's a great site. I just had to provision a new laptop, and it saved me a ton of time, since I was able to install about a third of my checklist with a single download.
- foldor 12y agoWinSCP has always been my go to FTP client for windows.
- chadzawistowski 12y agoSimply entering the ftp address into an Explorer window has always worked for me. Is there any extra functionality that Explorer doesn't provide? http://support.hostgator.com/articles/ftp/how-to-use-ftp-via-windows-explorer http://support.hostgator.com/articles/ftp/how-to-use-ftp-via...
- thejosh 12y agoQueueing, setting how many files can be copied at a time, etc are all valid features.
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoSFTP transfers mostly. Also the ability to store bookmarked servers seem to be the big issues.
- el_duderino 12y agoYeah, no self respecting IT person uses explorer to connect to an FTP.
- whoopdedo 12y agoSFTP. Changing UNIX modes. Choosing active vs passive per-server. Choose text or binary transfer. Resume transfers. Copy only changed files based on time or size.
- freehunter 12y agoHave you tried WinSCP? Since I found it, I haven't touched FileZilla.
- finishingmove 12y agoYep, same here. I can highly recommend WinSCP.
- jackmaney 12y agoAgreed. WinSCP is not only easy to use with a fairly "native" Windows feel (just drag and drop stuff from one half of the window to the other), but it's also not bundled with malware.
- jmuguy 12y agoI haven't, thanks for the tip!
