MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / July 2007ftp program
This is associated with my Publisher 2000 website file transferring operation. (And four other websites I do maintenance on). I had ProCommPlus, the ftp for uploading my website files. Because I see no reason to install 32 mb of program I want to change to a more modest program sized ftp. I'm presently trying out Classic ftp by NCH Software. Not only is it free but easy to use, BUT! it takes 30 seconds to connect; 30 seconds to change directories, 30 seconds to upload files. ProComm did these operations instantly. (I'm on a DSL line). The interface of Classic ftp is clean, easy to read, easy to operate and well designed. Due to the slowness of Classic ftp, I'm looking for a replacement that is quicker. Any suggestions? Many thanks,  SignatureDon Vancouver, USA Hi Don, You might try filezilla...it is a freebie that seems popular. http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ DavidF > This is associated with my Publisher 2000 website file transferring > operation.

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] | | Many thanks, Rob, AFAIK, Cute is still free but one has to make sure they have the very latest version, otherwise one gets a message that the trial has expired. I like it. But I use Filezilla. As David said, it's free. It's also quite good.

SignatureDon Vancouver, USA > Rob, > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> | >> | Many thanks, Don, It's sort of like subscribing to a NG. I have two, maybe three sites under my domain, a domain for the Fair, another one for a Civic organization - both on different servers. I can click to connect which goes to the last visited server, or on Site Manager which lets me pick which server to connect to. The only limitation is I can only be connected to one server at a time. But I can view/edit files (great for editing php files!), set permissions, move files from one folder to another. You pretty much doing it just like you would subscribe to a NG - enter the address, username and password. Mike > Mike, > > Is there a way in Filezilla to have a half a dozen websites?

Mike, Thanks for all the help but in the last few hours I found ACEftpfree3 which looks good, has a dropdown list of websites, great layout and is fast. It also has sounds for some of the operations which I'll probably turn off if I find the way. One minor annoyance is a changing ad to download stuff, but tolerable.

Don, FileZilla ver 3.0.0-beta10 has an option File -> Site Manager where you can define different ftp servers.

I do work on six websites and found that FileZilla does retain both the paths on my computer and the paths on the six sites. I am very pleased with FileZilla and will wait until ver 3 goes to gold before giving it a try. Thanks for your offer to help.
