I use Filezilla. I also use WinSCP when I want to pretend I'm some kind of internet scientist and wait longer for my shit to authenticate.
FileZilla... Free & Open Source.
FlashFXP and TotallCommander FTW ;-)
FlashFXP FTDub
FlashFXP for Windows
i don't know where you heard that but it is false. don't spread (mis)information before confirming it. i'm running latest filezilla (3.5.3) and just checked. its stored plaintext.
That's funny since I just opened up the xml file in my Filezilla folder with Excel and it lists my user name, remote folder, local folder, ip, etc.
In the password column, all of the sites are in the format:
1.1507E+23
When I opened up the file using dreamweaver it showed: 015073010021041083014182
So as far as I can tell this isn't (mis)information.
