With SmartFTP not offering a free license anymore there is now a space for another robust FTP client. I don’t blame them, they offered such a high quality product for free for such a long time I could see that they would do this at some point. However I feel that they could have offered a really simple cut down FTP client for the simple joe, I only need to download or upload the odd file. Maybe change a few permissions, I don’t use all the features that SmartFTP offered.

As a result, I went hunting for an alternative FTP client and FileZilla ranked highly: http://filezilla-project.org/ Its an open source client and server (separate installs) and does the job nicely.
