FTP Program for accessing your site on Exactservers.com

[Rhett]

You can use any FTP program you like, but here is my recommendation. I have turned on Secure FTP on all sites so this will work correctly.

WinSCP

You can also use Smart FTP as a second choice IMO.

i use smart ftp

Winscp has a few nice features and you never have to worry about the buy now screen lol

It has two windows side by side.... one the local folders and the other the remote. Very nice for moving things around and synchronizing your folders.
You must have sftp enabled though.

I'm still learning all the features, but the sync feature is nice... I can update the changed files only without having to do a complete site download.

so, what are the advantages? Security? I know I have about 5 to 6 accounts saved on SmartFTP now, and I always have to close out and reload to get another account to load properly. Pain in the ass....

[Rhett]

Yes, it's secure, and the smart ftp is a pain sometimes to me.... this one has a sync feature I like and more that I haven't played with yet.

One nice feature is the two windows for dragging files.
