FreeFTP

Introduction

FreeFTP is a multi-threaded FTP client with the look-and-feel of Windows Explorer, it makes moving files between the Internet and your computer as simple as local file manipulation.

  • If you have problems while connecting to a server, you can configure FreeFTP to automatically retry if the connection attempt fails. You can specify the number of times it should try to connect, and the time delay between connection attempts.
  • All file transfer requests are handled in the background, so you don't have to wait while files copy to continue browsing the current server. You can even connect to a different server, while file transfers on another server are still in progress.
  • The Transfer Manager shows all file transfers currently in progress plus the ones that are in the queue. You can configure how many transfers are processed simultaneously, so you don't run out of resources.
  • FreeFTP uses the Windows 9x/NT/XP style list boxes for displaying the contents of remote servers. With all familiar system icons and context menus.
  • Full Drag and Drop support. Simply drag one or more files or even complete folders onto FreeFTP's file view area to transfer them to the location of the server that is currently connected.
  • Easily configure FTP site settings, like username, password, port, initial remote folder, number of retries and default download folder.
  • Resume support for download and upload!
  • CERN Proxy support.
