What is FTP software?
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to exchange and manipulate files over a computer network such as the Internet. Bascially FTP software is installed to your p.c, and allows you to connect to your website and upload files to your webspace and control files on your webspace.

All Webdesigners will need an FTP software program at some point in their career. I have tried many in the past, some free and some commercial. My conclusion to the best of the bulk came when this blog started. I decided this website would be started on a budget due to baby on the way.

So I searched for a Free FTP software programs using Google.

I decided to give the following programs a try:

FILEZILLA

CORE FTP

GOFTP

After trying all three, and my experiences with others such as Leap FTP etc I came to the conclusion that FileZilla was the easiest to use and suited my needs best. Of course all the other programs all hold good features but for me Filezilla is the cream of the crop.

Filezilla have a great support system for users that have issues and I was very impressed with the upload realiabilty and how the simple features like listing failed uploads make it easier to know when certain files have failed. When you’re uploading things like forum software to install or even wordpress with a lot of files having this feature makes it great.

Filezilla has great documentation for new and old users HERE

Trust me if i can use it, anyone can :)
