My favorite FTP program has to be WS_FTP Pro. The LE version is okay but the Pro version is really good! I'm not sure about other FTP programs, but WS_FTP Pro allows you to delete folders with stuff inside of them already, just one click and it opens each folder and delets the stuff inside.. saves a me a lot of time!

CuteFTP 4.0 I've been using CuteFTP for a little over a year. Before that I used WS_FTP LE, which is also really good.

Bulletproof FTP all the way... I used Cute FTP, WS_FTP (both LE and pro), but now I stick to bulletproof. Don't ask me why, I just think it's great :)

You got that right... I tried it once... even getting connected to the ftp server was a b*tch.

I use Leech FTP for windows its a very good program for uploading and downloading. I used to use Coffee Cup and it was good until I found this one. I have a able connection so i downloaded all the FTp progrms I could find at hotfiles.com and download.com and this is the best I found

The best I ever did was rename a file.

I didn't even know they were up to 4.0... I got 1.8 2 or 3 years ago and have liked it so much I have never looked for anything else. :)

I use WS_FTP LE or Pro... don't remember which one I have on my home PC :) I have never used anything but WS_FTP at home.
Right now I'm on a school Mac and they have Fetch FTP. Boy does that program suck IMO.

CuteFTP for maintaining websites! and SmartFTP for browsing servers because it could see hidden directories! Pretty neat!

Man, more of you should check out BulletProof FTP. Its by far the best of the bunch....upload/download queues, resumed upload/downloads, scheduled connects/disconnects...you just can't beat it...

I have every single FTP program that people have posted here and I know that BulletProof FTP bows down and gravels at the feat of LeapFTP. LeapFTP has all those features, it uses server comands to stay connected untill YOU disconnect (no 200 second timeouts! Yay!), plus much, much more.

Stupid, pointless WS_FTP tip (that everyone probably already knows):
On the 'Startup' tab (when you have the connect box up), enter '-a' in the bottom 'Remote file mask:' area to see hidden server files. Alternatively, if you've already connected, just type '-a' in the white space below the 'MkDir' button (part of the vertical row of buttons on the right side of the window).

I use WS_FTP LE mainly and the DOS one when no client is installed on the computer I'm working with. Dad brought home Leech FTP or Ace FTP (I don't remember which....something with a colorful/stylish GUI) and I didn't like it...I guess it's because I've been working with WS_FTP for the past 4 years and don't want to change lol ;)
