Now that our beloved smartFtp has gone into the yonder world of becoming a pay and use only program, I have discovered another free FTP program that works JUST as good for what I need to do, is FAST although lacks the finesse of smartftp.
Give CoreFTP a shout, pretty good and like all good things in life (including [ms] ;) ) its FREE

Re: FTP Program
not for wimblowz sadly
Re: FTP Program
wow, didnt realise, thanks K for the heads up
Re: FTP Program
I still don't know what an FTP is....... What is it? I know that it stands for file transfer protocall, and a way of uploading, downloading, and/or sharing files, but how does it work?
Re: FTP Program
yes, its a way to connect to a server on a designated port that is intended to upload / download files to a server.
Re: FTP Program
Like rapidshare?
Re: FTP Program
it transfers files using a certain protocol.. pretty simple stuff
if you had an external HD, its the same as moving files from one HD to another except these are remote drives
Re: FTP Program
^^Gotcha. Thanks.
Re: FTP Program
How about CuteFTP for firefox?
Re: FTP Program
is CuteFTP free ?
Re: FTP Program
^ Last time I checked. It's a fave extension in firefox along with adblock! ;)
Re: FTP Program
I know when I first started using FTP many many years ago, cuteftp the stand alone software was not free, dunno if they have changed that model now

I presume you're still running pre version 3.X :?:

its arguably quicker to download via ftp than it is via http (through your browser by clicking on a link) but its not that much quicker where you're going to really miss it. Its more convenient in terms of being able to upload files to a server (since you can always download through your browser)
Re: FTP Program
the ftp speed is like downloading anything, it's dependant on the your broadband speed and of where you are getting the file from.. the stuff I grab from 365mag ftp downloads a lot faster than stuff I download from some "other places"
Re: FTP Program
...And it's free?? Sorry to ask a shit load of questions, just trying to weigh up some options..
Re: FTP Program
there are a lot of ftp programmes that are free yeah.. first one I ever used was cuteFTP, not sure if that one is free any more.. they are really easy to use, I'm surprised you've never used an ftp client before
options as far as what?
Re: FTP Program
yes this program that posted about is free to download and use

if you've never needed a FTP program until today, probably won't have any reason to use it either. it's not a soulseek or bittorrent type thing, but is only used for uploading/downloading to servers that you have access to. if you don't have an account on an FTP server somewhere, or know of any places that offer music via FTP (I don't) then you probably aren't going to get from this what you're thinking
Re: FTP Program
I have friends that have music pools on ftp's....Just wasn't sure if it would be worth it to join..
Re: FTP Program
the answer is probably yes :)
Re: FTP Program
Remember the days where the whole action went on in closed groups using private FTP's built like the Fight club (there is no FTP) before the nerds took over with their 0 day releases of everything via Rapidshare and Co?

Even before the days of Koolmax. Remember using IRC for 0day releases back in the 90s?
