Hi,
If you plan to buy one, you can try flashFXP, solid and user friendly. Very light weight too.
I could not agree with any free ones or open source ones.
Although i code Wordpress themes, i use flashfxp for file transferring. I mean, i support open source when they are quality ones.
Best Regards,
Vrajesh

well, sometimes I do tens of thousands files at a time,
believe me more threads = less time, having for example 25Mbps/s at home and 10MBps at server side doesnt create the bottleneck on Your side.
I dont really know how it works but I think that every single file upload needs some time to start and finish in addition to the transfer itself.
The best solution would be compressing files and unpacking after the transfer - what sucks in this case is that You don't have the console access every time.

I used to use FlashFXP, but it is REALLY slow compared to Filezilla and others when transferring many small files since it does not support multithreading.
I've been using filezilla for years and don't plan to change, just remember NOT TO SAVE passwords in its file manager.
Unless they have changed it in recent versions, passwords are saved unencrypted into an xml file.
There are viruses that spread via javascript that will scan for these known files and send your passwords to some fucker on the other side of the planet. I discovered this the hard way.
That said, it's the faster client I've tried and you don't really need anything else. ( it does sftp too obviously ).

Me too! I wrote about it here before. Sites are hacked via automated scripts to then spread the same virus... not a nice way to wake up with a client calling you to tell you their site is infecting their customers. Lesson learned.
