Mandatory or not, FTP clients allow users to quickly download, upload or update website files without navigating endless dialog boxes. There are certain cases where a solid FTP client is required, such as uploading data to a Ke圜DN Push Zone. Since I don’t use Firefox these days, I opt for desktop ftp clients.While most web hosting dashboards try to make managing files as straightforward as possible, a good File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client can further simplify the job for serious web developers. Used it a lot back when Firefox was all the rage. Not my cup of tea though after trying out Cyberduck and WinSCP. Perhaps the most popular feature you’ll hear about is its ability to synchronize local directory with remote directory (Cyberduck has this too). There are also tools built-in to open a remote terminal and SSH (with Putty) connection. Not as popular as it should be but works, looks and feel really similar to FileZilla. It also knows when there’s a newer version and ask if you would like to update the software (Filezilla has this too). It used to be for Mac only, thanks goodness it’s ported to Windows! The fact that it Works with files stored in cloud services such as dropbox, google docs, amazon s3 etc is exactly why myself and others love it so much. It is an open source FTP and SFTP, WebDAV, Cloud Files, Google Docs, and Amazon S3 client for Mac OS X and Windows. You might think that’s a small issue, but for someone who works with lots of files and love to press CTRL-S to save and test things out, this extra click is seriously bothersome and painful.Īll other FTP clients such as Cyberduck, WinSCP, CoreFTP and SmartFTP (not free though) have this function built in, why can’t Filezilla have it? CyberduckĬyberduck is more then just a FTP client.
There’s an extra click on a messagebox asking “are you sure you want to upload”? before the file is uploaded. However, one major issue that I have it is that it doesn’t autoupload after files (selected for editing) are saved. Connects to more than one ftp site and separated by tabs. I’ve been a long time user and it has been working great. Seriously popular no matter where I look.
