[NFBCS] accessible FTP client for Windows

[Jim Denham]

Thanks for all the recommendations, really appreciate it!
I grabbed a copy of Filezilla and it seems to be doing what I need.
On another interesting note, when I first attempted this task, I thought I could just use a browser to access the FTP site. I use Chrome and have it set as my default browser. When I attempted to access the FTP site, Chrome actually launched Edge. Apparently Chrome doesn't support FTP at all.
Interesting.
Thanks again for the client recommendations.
Jim

I use WinSCP, and like it. You can configure it so that there are two panes, one is your local directory, and one the remote directory. I think they call it the Norton Commander interface - but it has been so long since I configured it .....

You tab between panes, I go tho the file I want to transfer, and hit hit F5 and voila!

Joe:

What makes WinSCP work better for you? Are you a command line person or GUI?  I liked Filezilla because it resembled File Explorer.

I used to recommend FileZilla but have since switched to WinSCP.

Hi Jim:

I highly recommend Filezilla. Here is the link.

All:

Just wondering if someone knows of a good accessible FTP client for Windows. I'm willing to pay for a license if needed.
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Jim
