Windows FTP client?

I’m looking for a good Windows FTP client, but have yet to land on any.

I use Windows at work, as well as home, but I am preferably a Mac user. Unfortunately it’s often easier to conduct my work on a PC, due to the nature of it (web development), where I need access to a particular browser for testing (Internet Explorer).

I’ve tried FileZilla and WinSCP, but neither have the maturity and finesse I’d expect. I run into weird glitches, annoying bugs, and many other things that make me less productive. My FTP client should not stand in my way of getting work done, but on Windows it often does.

I am used to polished, strong Mac applications, like Panic Transmit. Mac applications seem to pride themselves on usability, stability, and quality. I could say the same for iPhone/iPad apps versus Android.

I guess this post is mainly out of frustration, but I would hope there’s a decent, reliable FTP client for Windows that doesn’t keep getting in my way.

One thought on “Windows FTP client?

  1. Why not use My Network Places? The FTP server then becomes just another folder you can drag and drop items to and from.

    If you have to have a dedicated FTP client, then I’ve had good experience with FlashFXP. (http://www.flashfxp.com/)
