Progress WS_FTP Reviews & Product Details

This is a great FTP client! It is very stable and I have never had any issues with it. I use it all the time at work, almost on a daily basis, and I have never been dissatisfied with it. I like the fact that it keeps track of the total amount of data that you have uploaded/downloaded in the past, so it tells you on the Splash Screen that you've transferred X number of GB since you installed the software. I like this feature and think it is kind of neat that it shows you how much data you have moved in the past. Let's you know you're getting your money's worth out of the product.

There's isn't much that I dislike about this software other than the fact that it isn't free. It's great software and works extremely well for both client and server applications. Other clients like FileZilla are free from the client standpoint and do well, but WSFTP has more and better features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That you can monitor the progress of each download, and see if there are any errors/stoppages in the downloading process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if a download got hung up, if it would try and restart itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ipswitch WS_FTP does a great job of a simple job: uploading files to a web host. It comes in both free and for purchase editions that suite the needs of both consumers and business users alike. Best of all, the program is fairly light in terms of using system resources and it can be setup fairly easily. Its not going to win any advanced awards for having a ton of features. Its more robust competitors can offer those but at a higher costs. However, it also managers to do a superior job of file handling than many web hosting programs that use basic FTP programs. One element that really stands out is the use of 256 bit encryption for the professional edition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program is not for beginners. Even with its easy to functions, new users may find some of its functions harder to use. Then again it is still better than many competitors at doing its job as an FTP program. It beats web based FTP program with faster speeds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how I can see files on my computer side by side to files on the ftp site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WS_FTP's delete folder feature may not work and I wish there was a graphical interface to move folders on the ftp site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WS_FTP is a good FTP program from Ipswitch. It is very easy to use compared to other FTP programs I have used. Besides WS_FTP, Ipswitch makes some good products we use, such as their IMail and Instant Messaging programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not too much to dislike about the software since it is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think what I like best about Ipswitch FTP is the ease of use with the product. It is very easy to set up FTP connections and I have had no issues hooking into a variety of different vendor FTP connections. I like how the program communicates what is going on how much estimated time/download is remaining. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't say there is much that I dislike about this product so far. I do wish they had an Apple Mac compatible version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
