What is a ftp client?
It is software that is used to connect to a ftp server on another computer. Once the connection is established you can upload, download, edit and delete files, on the server. I use ftp software regularly because it is the best way to manage files on a web server.
As a web developer, I frequently get asked the question: “Which ftp client is best for me?”
There are 3 ftp client solutions that I can recommend. Which one you use, really depends on your needs:
Best free ftp client:
FileZilla is by far the best free software. This is a good solid basic ftp client. If you only use ftp software occasionally this is the solution for you. It’s worth noting that they have a portable version that you can run of a USB stick.
Another free option, you might consider, is for Firefox fans. It’s a plugin that turns your browser into a ftp client. You can download it at FireFTP. So you can have a full Mozilla solution: ftp,web,email and newsgroups, all free.
If your willing to pay:
Cuteftp I have been using Cuteftp for years. It really is the best solution for developers and people who need to ftp regularly. It allows you to manage many ftp accounts seamlessly and efficiently.
There is plenty of help documentation on both options, so I am not going into how to use this software.
If your PC is running a little slow you will find some easy steps to speed it up on system speed.
