Like most Windows users I got away from CLI FTP as soon as possible. Equally commonly I started with the noncommercial version of WS-FTP. That program never seemed to make adequate use of the Windows explorer.
Before I abandoned Front Page I started using it as much as an FTP client as anything else. Too much code to load just to transfer a file.
I’ve forgotten the freeware FTP clients I played with. They were always buggy, crashed and the developer usually went on to other things like dating girls before releasing 1.0.
SmartFTP was the first FTP client to make me happy. Edifying Spectacle is a hobby so I never registered the software. I’ve come to resent the way it opens a new browser window to take me to the SmartFTP home page. If I were violating the license that isn’t going to shell out.
Liking the product I started thinking that maybe I should give them money. Thinking about spending made me feel I should see what the commercial FTP clients offered. FTP Voyager struck me as the best but too expensive for my meager means.
Then I discovered Filezilla at SourceForge. I’m sure there are specialized features needed by some folks in their FTP clients. My RSI damaged fingers want easy drag and drop. Since I always save optimized images to the same local directory I appreciate it that Filezilla remembers where I was last.
