“Quickly transfer files across the Internet”

by Cyril Roger

This free FTP client for Windows houses all the features expected of a complete FTP client. SmartFTP reveals a very intuitive and user-friendly configuration, thanks among other things to a friendly interface. Along with the classic features included in most FTP clients, such as passive mode transfers, uploading and downloading of files, a large choice of FTP connections, creation of favorites, SmartFTP carries its unique batch of attributes. For instance, you can connect to multiple FTP connections without time delays or errors. By dragging and dropping, you can transfer files from folder to folder. A few other notable features are passive mode and site to site transfers.

However, its most entertaining novelty is probably the transfers menu. This handy tool allows you to create queues of transfers, either global or in a specific session. You can easily monitor the speed of your transfers and set specific tasks to the queue, like hibernating or shutting down, once all files have been transferred. Last and not least, SmartFTP’s menus can be customized in a breeze, letting you choose what information you want to see.

Smart FTP is free for personal use, and although beginners might need a bit of time adjusting to it, they will be bound to love the flexibility of SmartFTP as much as more seasoned users.
