There have been a few threads on this if you do a search. Here is a quite big one that I got from searching.

I personally use WS_FTP as do quite a few in that thread :)

CuteFTP Pro isn't bad. I've been using it more lately.

LeechFTP is good for mass uploads of entire directories (I found that out after I spent 4 hours uploading PostNuke using SmartFTP).

Yes, I use LeechFTP also for large uploads. I have come across a problem. When I upload updated or edited pages to the internet and then view them on my web browser they stay the same, but on all my friend's comps it shows up right? I have three different computers in two different places and they all do the same thing. Is it because of the FTP program I use or my host or what?
thanks

This may sound stupid but have you tried refreshing?

I use WS_FTP Pro for my uploading...

And yeah, you should try refreshing, clearing out your cache, or maybe just waiting for the host to load it (on some servers, it takes a couple minutes).

I use LeapFTP. Any FTP programs better than this?

What is clearing out cache? I have deleted all of my temporary internet files if that's what it is. I have also tried all the rest. Eventually it shows up right, but like I said, It shows up right on other people's comps right after I upload the file.

Clearing out your cache (at least most of it) can be done by clearing temporary internet files and history, or to COMPLETELY get rid of your cache, you have to download a program that clears it out (never had to use that though).

Well, I really like Cute FTP Pro...

I don't like WS FTP. And I just looked at SmartFTP and don't like the UI.

leapFTP is the best (for scripting) :)
