I don't need any frills or bells and whistles because I'm sure that I wouldn't know what to do with them anyways.....

After installing (and uninstalling) several programs today, I'm asking you guys....

Think idiot proof......zero bells and whistles (but freeware). I had just what I needed a couple years ago, but I didn't write down the name...doh!!

Links would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

No bells and whistles?

Open a cmd prompt and type in ftp.

This assumes you're using Windows.

WSFTP works well for me.

If you're looking for a GUI (which is either a bell or a whistle no matter how you look at it) - I have used FileZilla with some success.

Why not IE?

Why not IE?

as an FTP client IE SUCKS!!!!!


but the one question nobody has asked , are you looking for an FTP client or Server ?

 

[jebfour]

Client - I installed FileZilla but for some reason I can't get things to connect......still working on it....

 

[jonKranked]

client: WS FTP ( i use pro)
server: WarFTP Daemon ( http://www.warftp.org/ )

wsFTP!

as a client , I just use command line. its not that hard and once you know it , it really makes FTP much easier to understand and use.

gFTP works well. I've been using it for a while now and it works well with Linux and Windows ftp servers.

IE sucks enough as a browser, I wouldn't even consider trying ftp...

I have something like hummingbird suite thing, works fine for me!

are you using a mac or a pc. if you are using a mac throw down the $30 for transmit (panic.com) I use it to sent photos in for class daily and it works awsome also very simple to use. Also if you are getting ftp for college some of them require you to use speciffic ftp programs so you may be s.o.l.

 

[sanjuro]

FTP, does that mean

F*ck The Police?

file transfer protocol is what it stands for I believe.

for freeware on a Mac use Fugu and if you are paying use Transmit, it's like Fugu but way less glitchy.
