FTP Commander is simple and easy to use ftp client. It's really the bare minimum with no extra frills or thrills. It offers a no-nonsense interface consisting of two side-by-side local computer and FTP server panels. The latter contains a list of about a dozen pre-set FTP servers. It's easy as pie to establish a connection. All you have to do is select the server you want on the list and push the Connect button. Pre-configuring a list of most frequently accessed servers will make your life even easier. An application also enables users to execute two-way file exchanges and activate multiple downloads. FTP Commander also makes it possible to run programs located on local disks, or view documents. The program occupies far less space on hard drives and RAM than other similar paid programs. It also allows you to delete, rename and and copy files, create and delete directories in the FTP server and work in command line mode. A session log file is also available. The program is free for personal, educational and non-commercial use and does not contain any annoying ad banners.

For business sites, as opposed to private home pages, information security comes into play. Can you estimate the possible losses in case your web site is hacked? Chances are that the loss would be painful. With this in mind, you should remember the one big FTP-protocol disadvantage: data is transmitted in an un-encrypted form. That is why FTP Commander Deluxe supports Shell Access (SSH), SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol), FTPS (File Transfer Protocol using SSL), PGP and others. The good news is that you do not need to install and connect any additional external libraries in order to use these protocols. Thus, all traffic will be encrypted and it will be impossible to intercept your login and password.
