Besides those two, is there any good commercial/free

Used WS_FTP in the old days, have been using Cute_FTP the last 3 years.

I use it multiple times daily on multiple servers, and it has been well worth the $...

Personally I use DOpusftp - part of Directory Opus 6 (on windoze, DOpus5 was on Amiga) - a *very* nice file manager, with integrated ftp support, just choose a site from a bookmark and browse it like a local drive (a *slow* local drive ;-)

Oh, and as I've coded a commercial ftp server, it's one of the many clients I have absolutely no problems with ;-)

WS-FTP works like a charm for me :)

I use WS_FTP
the new one has a nice revamped interface
and does fine

however we have discussed a similar topic a few days ago
and suggested a few new tools, among tohse one triggered quite some interest.

hope someone with a better mem ( I neeed a few more ram)
will point you to the thread

Used to use ws_ftp some years ago, but I've been on FlashFXP for some years now and never looked back. I FTP 24/7 and never had problems.

One program I've just started looking at is WebDrive [webmasterworld.com] (the link is to a previous WebmasterWorld discussion of it). It mirrors a remote site on your local box. When you make changes, they are automatically FTPed to the remote site.

Worth a look.

I use SmartFTP. I have also heard good things about Leech.

I just started using webdrive and have found it very useful... especially when you need to make a quick change. It will basically map a network drive to your server.

definitely ws_ftp

Try ace html also for a good hand-coding experience

I have been running CuteFTP Pro and it has been great. Secured connections, the way it does queuing is quite nice and there are "intelligent" uploading features. The base CuteFTP is good as well, but for a relatively small additional cost, the Pro verison gives you a bunch of extra toys.
