SmartFTP is the most comprehensive software for downloading and uploading files using internet. It is useful for downloading audios, videos, documents and web pages from internet. I use this software for maintaining my website through FTP hoisting in the internet by uploading files without any difficulty. The FTP backup facility provided in this software is unique and fast. SmartFTP can be used like Windows Explorer in a local FTP network. Navigation is very easy and simple using this software. Folders and files are displayed in the same way as it is seen in all file managing software.
Get Everything In A Single Window
SmatFTP provides a simple and cute user interface. FTP hoisting and FTP backup can be done in the same single window. There are no commands hidden deep inside. The commands I want are easily accessible at the first glance in the main window. There is a Main Menu, but I prefer the Tool Bar. The commands in the tool bar are easily accessible and self-explanatory.
The remote servers being browsed is opened in the in main window as a tab. The local computer is opened by simply clicking the New Local Browser button in the tool bar. One thing I noticed here is that, this browser has all the functionalities of the Windows Explorer. The file commands, context menu, drag and drop and preview functions are available. I can navigate between servers in the same way I am using a Windows Explorer in my computer.
Opening a remote server is simpler. Just entering the name of the host or URL in a textbox provided in the toolbar opens it.
The FTP server is opened in a new tab. The contents of the FTP server are also displayed in the same way as the details of the local computers. All functions available in the local browser window are available here also.
The method of opening FTP servers and local computer makes SmartFTP more distinguishable. The remote server is opened in the left pane and local computer in the right pane. More than one FTP server can be opened in the same window. New servers are also added as a tab.
All common browsing commands seen in a browser is found the FTP client window. There are command buttons to Reconnect, Refresh, Stop, Back, Forward etc. This type of navigation facility makes browsing fun.
Drag And Drop For Online File Transfer
This is another exiting facility found in SmartFTP. A file is downloaded by just selecting it and dragging to the local computer window. FTP hoisting and uploading is done by dragging a file to the appropriate folder in the server window. The transfer process begins while I sit back and relax.
Online File Transfer Using Command Buttons
The command buttons found in the middle of server and local computer window is also useful for downloading and uploading files. The Synchronization and Visual compare buttons is very useful for FTP backup. I use the Visual compare command to find the files that are not stored in the FTP server. This saves a lot of time because I don’t have to upload all files in a folder for a FTP backup.
The three buttons Equal, Non Equal and Orphan select the files for uploading. This avoids the need for searching new or outdated files. I only have to drag and drop it to the server for backup or updating.
Conclusion
SmartFTP provides fast downloads and uploads from internet. The user interface of this software is the most attractive characteristic. I get the same easiness of using a file browser like Windows Explorer with SmartFTP. I haven’t seen the drag and drop facilities in many other FTP clients. There is actually nothing to know about the complexities of FTP or file transfers. I only have to know the FTP server address to keep moving.
