Free FTP Clients — File Transfer
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol which become synonymous to the action of transferring your file using FTP. People generally refer like ‘FTP this tar file to xyz public server’. As internet grown so rapid in past few years, web pages become the most popular application for the users. This promoted use of HTTP for file transfer also, but still FTP is generally used when you want to transfer files reliably.
The best way to use FTP is using command line client which works really well on all platforms.For UI people, here I am listing some of the free FTP clients which can be used for getting files from FTP server or putting files to FTP Server, Most of them are similar in functionality but some have better features like using multiple connection in background or uploading multiple files together :
1. WinSCP http://winscp.net/eng/index.php
2. Fire FTP http://fireftp.mozdev.org/
3. File Zilla http://filezilla-project.org/
4. Smart FTP : http://www.smartftp.com/
5. Core FTP : http://www.coreftp.com/
6. Go FTP : http://www.goftp.com/
Most of the above are installations which will provide you another program to connect to FTP server and then do file transactions. Fire FTP is quite handy and it not a separate program but an addon to Mozilla Firefox. Most of them are open source also.
