ftp client software

[aaron_wade]

any advice on a good ftp client software? sorry im new to this web design stuff.

i have a account w/ godaddy and now i need to upload my site.

I use SmartFTP
http://www.smartftp.com/

have also used CuteFTP and WSFtp, but I'm liking Smart the most... though I usually just put my site info into Dreamweaver and upload from there.

owen,

i also have dreamweaver the trial version i dl'ed off the site. can i upload via the trial version?

I also use SmartFTP and LOVE it!!

 

[Owen]

I would think you'd be able to upload in the demo version -- you'll just need to set up your site and edit the info with the valid login information.

Just go to SITE -> NEW SITE and set up your server info as an FTP login

I use Filezilla.

http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

It's great and free.

Aaron, you forgot to mention you're working on a Mac... right?

If so, the solutions mentioned so far are for Windows based machines.

I use Transmit and it works great.

 

[aaron_wade]

oh yeah, i work on mac. hehe.

 

[Owen]

Doh! Well I seem to remember using CuteFTP on a Mac once... and the Dreamweaver functionality should still be there.

...and when you're in a pinch and away from your usual computer don't forget about http://www.web2ftp.com/

That site has helped me more times than I can count.
