hi there...........
Can anyone help in searching for a good FTP software.
As I am using Filezilla for a very long time, and I was happy with it's compatibility and service; but not now. It has now started producing low performance. Dont know the reason why?
Please help me in finding some good File Transfer Protocol Software............
Your reply will be appreciated
FTP is a file transfer protocol for exchanging and manipulating files over a TCP computer network. An FTP client may connect to an FTP server to manipulate files on that server.
FTP sites are typically used for uploading and downloading files to a central server computer, for the purpose of file distribution.
The process of downloading and uploading files at a FTP site is accomplished with a FTP client software application. There are both commercial and free FTP client products, and some webbrowser-based free FTP programs as well.
The typical information needed to connect to an FTP site is:
The "server address" or "hostname" of the computer to connect to.
The username and password to use as credentials to access the files on the FTP server.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP), a standard Internet protocol, is the simplest way to exchange files between computers on the Internet. Like the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which transfers displayable Web pages and related files, and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), which transfers e-mail, FTP is an application protocol that uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols. FTP is commonly used to transfer Web page files from their creator to the computer that acts as their server for everyone on the Internet. It's also commonly used to download programs and other files to your computer from other servers.
As a user, you can use FTP with a simple command line interface (for example, from the Windows MS-DOS Prompt window) or with a commercial program that offers a graphical user interface. Your Web browser can also make FTP requests to download programs you select from a Web page. Using FTP, you can also update (delete, rename, move, and copy) files at a server. You need to logon to an FTP server. However, publicly available files are easily accessed using anonymous FTP.
Basic FTP support is usually provided as part of a suite of programs that come with TCP/IP. However, any FTP client program with a graphical user interface usually must be downloaded from the company that makes it.
