SmartFTP Client allows transferring files between local and remote locations. Despite its name, it supports not only FTP but other protocols as well, including FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV and SSH. Likewise, it lets you move data to and from such on-the-cloud services as Google Drive and OneDrive. Besides, the tool is compatible with various proxy protocols, like SOCKS 4, SOCKS 4A and SOCKS 5.

The application has a nice interface, which is composed of a series of dockable panes. This way, you can view the contents of the local and remote directories side by side. Luckily, drag-and-drop operations between panes and even from Windows File Explorer are supported. Similarly, you can establish various simultaneous connections, which appear in different tabs. It is a pity that some users may feel somewhat confused the first time they use this tool. Good news is that there are some instructive tutorials to pave the way.

There is luckily no reason to worry about security issues for the program supports using encrypted connections. Fortunately, the application allows users to configure various parameters. For instance, you can set speed limits and priorities so that transfers do not interfere with web browsing. On the contrary, it is possible to increase the number of connection threads to speed up given transfer jobs. An absolute advantage is that it lets you avoid copy conflicts by creating auto-renaming rules. more

I find this software to be extremely powerful and certainly one of the best values I have encountered.
I was honestly surprised when I saw the capabilities and the price tag (don't raise the price!!) and as a beginning pic programmer this program enabled me to quickly write code for many applications which I would otherwise find myself mired in assembly.
Here I can get a good feel for the language along with writing code.
exceptional value. Surprised no one else has caught on.

Great package.
thanks
