Out of curiosity, what FTP client (program) do you use?
I use FileZilla, primarily. If anything goes wrong with it I switch to SmartFTP. I think I only know people who use one of those, never really heard of any other so I'm curious. Is CuteFTP still around? :/
I'm used to FileZilla and I only used FileZilla not others. It's been like an good two or more years since I used FileZilla and when I did it was to test if the details are right for the IPB support team to use. End of the day I never use any programs as it's an unsafe way to enter your files. Rather login right onto the web browser of my Cpanel
I just use commands to pull an archive directly off a destination server or Git.
FTP is too much of a pain to deal with, I know because I played with FileZilla back in I think it was 2009?
