    WS_FTP and programmers
    « on: February 21, 2012, 09:47:45 PM »
    Why do they do it? WS_FTP was a beautiful, fully intuitive little program. But the new computer was 64bit so I had to go look up a new FTP. Great. There's a nice new shiny WS_FTP for my new computer!

    But it's not intuitive. I'm constantly in some kind of directory finding problem at my server. Nothing seems to to the same thing twice in a row. It does a bunch of new things I have no need for. All I want to do is pass files back and forth between a single directory at the server and a single directory on my hard drive.

    Just venting, sorry, but why do they have to add crap until a beautiful program becomes a top-heavy dog?

    Been looking at FILEZILLA. Anyone have any opinions on that program?

    I don't have an opinion on filezilla. I've never used it. I always use iFTP http://www.memecode.com/iftp.php

    I, currently, use FileZilla and have absolutely NO issues with it.

    Core FTP LE is another one you might try.  I think you'll find it looks quite similar to your older version of WS_FTP.

    FileZilla works fine for me. Been using it for years (switched from WS_FTP)
