Title: FTP Programs
Post by: Solatar on December 01, 2002, 02:52:24 pm

My 30 day trial on WinFTP Pro expired, and I need to find a fre FTP program that operates like WinFTP Pro ( None of those text FTP programs) for free. I'm not asking for warez, just where to get an easy to use FTP program so I can continue to work on the TVWP and Alternate Paths.

Hmmm. I actually didn't know about ftp.exe.

Thanks Vadar. I just got WS_FTP95 LE off of webattack.:D

I just got WS_FTP95 LE off of webattack. Now maybe the site for the TVWP will go up pretty soon.

EDIT: I'm no genius, so how exactly do I get into my directory on Gamespy?

it automatically takes you to the main directory (my login does anyway)... but hey, whadaya know, you don't have access to that directory, so type in:

/hlp/hosted/14_year_war/

and you'll get to your directory

I downloaded FTP Explorer and it works wonders. Stealth, I put up that temporary TVWP site also.

Well, I've transfered precisely two files EVER, and I used Terrapin FTP for both of 'em. Seems to work (not that I'd be able to tell)

SmartFTP (http://www.smartftp.com), what I use. Freeware, too.

Sure, if you like a particularly BAD rip off of the original BSD client.

You're better off looking for something like ncftp3 for win32 if you want a proper command line ftp client.

For GUI ftp clients I recommend WS-FTP LE or the standard windows ftp folders. Anything more recent than win95 should have 'em.

I find FTP Explorer an excellent program.

EDIT: I just figured out that if I go into MS Internet explorer and type in ftp://www.3dap.com/hlp\hosted\14_year_war\ it will ask me for my login info, then I can copy-paste stuff from my hardrive into that folder. Cool. :D

yes you can use windows explorer, but you can't issue ftp commands to it (except send, recv, del, etc). That and its not very reliable.
