I use WS_FTP for Windows. The freeware version does everything I need it to do.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I use CoffeeCup DirectFTP at home. At work we don't have dedicated FTP software, we just use IE. Works well enough, given that most of our clients that we need to FTP with aren't very sophisticated.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, I've never found a free GUI FTP client on OS X that serves me well. Cyberduck works, sort of, but not very well, and most others cost (though not too much, and if I did lots of ftp work I'd buy Transmit in a second).
The built-in ftp program for OS X has remote tab completion, though, so I'm okay using it most of the time. And I've also installed ncftp on the command line, which is even better (local AND remote tab completion! Easy to save bookmarks to various sites! And so forth!)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ncftp's not bad, although I've only used it in Linux. I quite liked it.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, when I first realized that I could install a command-line program for ftp that had many useful features was a great day for me.
Now, of course, I open up my Terminal once a week at the most (and that's usually just to run "cal" because i'm too lazy to open a GUI calendar program. If I install Tiger on this laptop, the dashboard calendar will remove even that need.) But once, I was truly a geek. Once.

Your tag here.
I did not know IE had its own FTP business. Just, you type ftp.blahblah.com into the URL space?
To answer the question for the record, the syntax is
ftp://ftp.blahblah.com

While we're on the subject, is there anything remotely like HTML Kit (which is my one-stop solution for editing and FTPing shit) for the Mac? Because man, I miss HTML Kit, and I hate having to go to the basement to use it.
Gris - Nov 02, 2005 7:58:52 pm PST #5427 of 10003
Hey. New board.
Is HTML kit just a nice text editor with FTP access? Cuz, if so, I believe TextWrangler can do that.
If it's more than that, well, I am completely not of the knowing. Sorry.

I use SecureFX cause I could get it from MIT for free and because some sites I use require Secure FTP connections.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I use Fugu for the same reason. Except for the MIT part.
