Best FTP Clients?

 

 

People have used FTP clients to upload, download, and share files over the internet for years, and though the FTP protocol continues to age, it's still commonly used all over the world. Once barebones, many newer FTP clients boast a wide and impressive range of features that are helping to push FTP (and other, more secure improvements like SFTP) into new heights of file sharing and transfer ease. For this week's Hive Five, we want to hear all about your favorite FTP client. On Thursday we'll be back with a roundup of the top five candidates, but for now, keep reading for more details and to nominate your favorite FTP client.
Update: For the five most popular tools, check out the Five Best FTP Clients; then take a look at the most popular tool for the job from that bunch.
The Hive Five nomination round takes place in the comments, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of comments, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your comment like so: VOTE: FTP Client Goes Here. If you don't follow this format, we may not count your vote. To prevent tampering with the results, votes from first-time commenters may not be counted. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.
About the Hive Five: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get—"Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every Thursday, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's Hive Five Best Desktop Search Applications.
