			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the longest while, I have been using <a href="http://www.smartftp.com/" target="_blank">SmartFTP</a> for my ftp needs.  It recently went to a pay-me status.  I was quite upset with that.  But after having had to search for another ftp client, I can see why.  There is not another client with the features of SmartFTP.  It&#8217;s multiple connection windows and widows explorer type interface make it unique among the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_FTP_clients" target="_blank">ftp clients</a>.</p>
<p>I tried many of the free ftp clients, and I can say, why do most you bother trying to make one?  Filezilla kicks all your butts.  For one reason or another, most of the others just SUCK.  Plain and simple.  I will not get into names, but there are some that actually DO NOT work in a stock configuration.  Having to restart a transaction because of a silly error is just unfathomable to me.  Add on several errors, and it&#8217;s really bad.  I tried one that would CONSTANTLY steal focus from my other work.  <a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe" target="_blank">Tweak UI </a>handled that little problem as I didn&#8217;t see anyway in the client itself to disable that &#8220;feature&#8221;.</p>
<p>I almost paid the price to purchase SmartFTP, but since I found <a href="http://filezilla-project.org/" target="_blank">Filezilla</a>.  I think I will be alright until I have enough money to pay the SmartFTP extortion fee.  And that&#8217;s all it really is.  They could have a free version, with a lot less features, but they don&#8217;t.  So I will stick with free for now.</p>
<p>What do you use?</p>
