No FTP and no art program...

Make this mage... something something...

Yeah, I'm going crazy here. Anyone know of any good, easy to use, free FTP clients that I could download? Explorer does not seem to want to cooperate with me. I've got my boyfriend trying to help me, but I keep getting easily frusterated by the lack of sense this problem is making. Why does it work on one computer and no others? Why does it work when I run it through the DOS (or whatever that text only program is) program and not Explorer? If it can connect to one, shouldn't it logically be able to connect to another? Am I missing something when I type in the ftp address?

Any help you guys can offer will be much appreciated.

I use a program I dl'd for free called FTP Commander. I like it ^^' I dunno where I got it, it was a while ago, but you could prolly google it.

I really miss the days when WS_FTP was a free program. *pouts*

I've been on the lookout for a free or low-priced FTP uploader myself, so if I find anything, I'll be sure to give you a head's up.

I use Smart FTP. It's free, if you don't mind the pay for reminder (which reminds you if you're using it for personal use, it's free, but please buy it for business use)

yeah smart ftp is what I use too. It's pretty easy to learn, there's actually a *good* tutorial that goes on their site.

..... WHY exactly are you using explorer? o.o

Cause it worked on my old laptop and my dad's computer. Maybe those two were special? I dunno. It just won't work now.

I think they must have been special! I've never heard of a browser doubling as an FTP program before! Anyways, I don't think any of the mac-programs I use would be compatible, so I can't be of much use!

Actually, I think before IE 7.0 came out, the browser can be used for FTP. I know because I used it to upload pages for a site I made for my cousin. But yes, I agree with Myrror and Shard, Smart FTP is free (if used for personal purposes) and easy to use.

Hmm, I think I dismissed this one back in my unemployed/broke-as-my-childhood-piggybank days when I was looking for purely freeware programs.

I might have to give this one a try when I have a domain that supports FTP.

I use SmartFTP and its never given me any problems. a google search for free ftp client can yield some decent results too, i think.

Just for clarity's sake, Internet Explorer doesn't work for FTP, but Windows Explorer used to...I can't get it to take an address anymore so I'm not sure what's up with that...

*shrugs* Oh well, I don't use ftp anyways... XD

FTP Manager Lite is an excellent modern free FTP and SFTP client software. The clean interface is super easy to use. It will perform your files transfers quickly and efficiently. One of the best freeware FTP clients that also supports FXP.
