    What FTP proggy do you use?

    Does anyone have a good recommendation for a simple, no frills FTP program?

    The one built into Dreamweaver is painfully slow, am using Cute FTP 5.03 but it crashes every 3 minutes. Command prompt is too much typing for someone as lazy as me!

    Everyone I know uses a different one but my favorite is Terrapin FTP. Simple and easy to use.

    I have used CuteFTP and FTP Explorer in the past, but now WS_FTP is my preferred tool.

    Love WS_FTP Pro myself but I still prefer my own tool.

    Terrapin here too - no issues at all and a really user friendly interface....

    SmartFTP , free for personal, education and non-profit use. Works well for me.
    I think I know just enough to know how much I don't know... I think...

    SmartFTP is my personal favorite and I heard fireFTP is pretty good if you have Firefox.

    the reason i asked ...

    Thanks for all the suggestions, have tried out a couple of them but am running into problems displaying the remote folders on one particular site (dedicated windows server). They display fine in Cute (which i absolutely loathe) but wont in any other client.

    Shame, that fireFTP rocks for all my other sites!

    FileZilla

    Finally got one that does the job, on all servers, and doesnt crash!
    FileZilla: http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/

    I'm impressed. Adios CuteFTP !

    Just for one-off's, (like uploading a pic), I use fireFTP under FireFox.
    For complex things like directory structures, fireFTP can be a bit slow, so I use WS_FTP Pro.
    If I'm working with something in Dreamweaver, I use DreamWeaver's utility.
    And when I'm feeling really braindead, I use IE.
    I'm in charge and I say we blow it up
