good day all,

i have a client on a windows-based machine that is looking to ftp some files to us. i am familiar with many mac-based ftp clients, but need a recommendation on a solid, but free, windows-based ftp client.

any help on this is greatly appreciated!

with my feecee machine I have always just gone directly to the ftp using my internet browser, seems to work fine... but I'll look around and see what I can dig up for you.

thanks, i appreciate the help. i did a little research, and found what appears to be a nice little find in "smartftp". easy to download and install, and best of all, free!

www.smartftp.com

any other thoughts on the topic appreciated!

I haven't heard of Smart ftp - looks good.

I have always used Cute ftp but i don't think it is a freebie anymore.

doh!

well, like brilliance I use my browser too. I guess it depends on the amount of work you need to do across ftp sites.

i recommend FileZilla or FireFTP (if they're using FireFox which they should be).
