FTP Clients

[metro.]

Which do you use? Do you suggest it?
You know, the regular "Holy hell I'm lost and confused" questions.

Note that this will be used for downloading files off a seed box, nothing else really.

FileZilla. Haven't had any issues for years. Just does the job, and easily.

[dogsinafen]

I use FileZilla, I like the client and really really love the command interface. So if you have an issue you can see what command was sent and what the reply of the server was. Great for trouble shooting.

I'll just say FZ as I've know the thing since 2002 (before having my own PC FYI) and never heard of the others.

I use Nautilus since I haven't needed anything more advanced at the moment...

I didn't know Nautilus had an FTP feature.

Filezilla for me as well. It's quite excellent. I have briefly used WinSCP as well, which is very similar, but something about it puts me off.

I use ES File Manager on Android, and so far I'm liking it. I can stream stuff with that app.

[Bob2004]

I used to use FZ, which was pretty good, way back when I actually used FTP for anything - which was a while ago. But I can't imagine it's changed all that much, so that's my recommendation too.

I don't use FTP particularly often but when I do I use
Total Commander. The reason is more that I already
have it and use it for other stuff than anything else
really.

I use ftprush, it has everything I need while also giving me an mirc.dll to control it from within mirc.

It has, although you don't even need it as you can use sshfs assuming you use a secure connection.

[metro.]

SSHFS didn't work out, probably partly to do with the tunneling. I'm not sure though, my networking knowledge is extremely limited.

I ended up going with Filezilla, it was the easiest, and did what I wanted it to.

CuteFTP Pro....pretty easy to find it out there for free on most torrent sites. Downloads faster than any other client i've tried when using the multi-part feature.

I'd probably use SCP instead on Linux anyway, if Filezilla is unavailable...
