I have been using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) programs for years, and for the most part they are all the same. The average FTP client enables users to communicate to a FTP host either via a network or the internet. They all have similar functionalities: A place to enter an IP (Internet Protocol) address, upload and download functionality as well as certain perks like an address book, to store IP addresses and passwords so you don’t have to enter them every time.
Flash FXP
But Flash FXP by iniCom Networks is by far one of the best FTP programs out there. I have used Bulletproof FTP, Cute FTP and Cyberduck for Mac and Flash FXP stands apart. The main reason why I love Flash FXP is because it is extremely fast at sending commands to the FTP host. The easy to use interface allows users to quickly assess what Flash FXP is doing at the time. This permits the user to assess if there are any connection issues and login/password problems.
Flash FXP is also extremely compatible with different FTP hosts. This program will let you talk to your website, friends computer that is overseas or even an XBOX with the proper software installed. The program also has an extensive “Site Manager” feature which is similar to Cyberduck’s “keychain.”
Flash FXP GUI
The Site Manager allows the user to store information for different FTP hosts and keep them organized for quick access. The site manager is easy to use and looks like windows explorer. Overall Flash FXP’s GUI (Graphical User Interface) is well laid out and efficient.
I definitely recommend Flash FXP for windows users. It even has windows vista compatibility for Flash FXP version 3.6!
