Thanks everyone. I knew y'all would come through. I used the "Free" Cute FTP but the 30 days expired and they wanted $49, so I looked around for a "non-30 Day Free" version but came up empty.

If I don't use FireFox can I still use the extension?

Will check out the others as well. (Albert) I did download the FileZilla to take a look, thanks.

Thanks again!

I'm with Texatdurango, after 1996 I've used WS_FTP since college when I need an stand alone FTP program, but with my newer stuff (the last 7 years or so), I've been using Windows 'Network Neighborhood' and 'My Network Places' in the last couple of OS iterations (2K pro and XP Pro) for all my web file transfer needs. Basically it allows you to transfer files across Windows folder type UI's.

Once I've built enough computers with the extra copies (legit, of course) of XP Pro that I have, however, I'll be switching all my newest boxes to whatever Linux build is kicking butt at the time. Right now Ubuntu and Kubuntu are looking the best, IMO, as far as extensibility and support when moving myself into the whole 'free' OS realm. Red Hat is trying to head in Microsoft's direction, and there's just too many good developer out there working on truly free stuff to consider them, although they probably still set the bar for Linux.

I've no intention of ever switching to 'Vista'. I spent enough time writing code on and dealing with 'dark side' of Billy and Steve's OS crap (namely: 'Whistler') to know that it's time to make the switch to something better.

When that point comes, I'll probably have to either learn something totally new or write my own extensions to do what I need to do. I know the caliber of the developers that Microsoft was courting when it came time to 'start from scratch' on Vista, and it wasn't pretty. [B)] That whole thing's a pig. [V]
 
dave, i think you have to use firefox (if you don't, give it a try, it's a great program IMHO) in order to use that extension. i also use filezilla that was mentioned already, that one has worked just fine for me so far. i don't do a lot of FTPing, but it's nice to have if you need to make website changes or whatever.

A simple no. You should really consider updating to FireFox. FireFox will automatically move all your saved links and passwords, so the transition is seamless.

I've used WS_FTP for a long, long time, then about 18 months ago I started using SmartFTP.

I like SmartFTP better than the FireFox extension.
 
I use a shareware program called "total Commander" and have been using it for many years. Although it is not a free program it has so many features it is well worth the $38.00 that you pay for lifetime upgrades.

check it out.

I have tried a good many of the programs mentioned. Some are more complicated than they need to be or are unstable and crash. A former colleague at Zen Cart mentioned she use FlashFXP. I tried it and haven't used anything else since. What I like, is you buy it once $25 bucks I think and you get free upgrades for life. Can't beat that. It has a 30 day free trial. The it becomes nagware till you purchase it, but you can still use it. At least that is what it did to me. This may have changed.

I like the multi-threaded 3D FTP. Very fast.

For totally FREE (and non-pointy/clicky) every OS has a command line FTP.
