Is there a free FTP client for WindozeXP that has no spyware?
« on: December 20, 2006, 11:51:05 PM »
I wrote an Aminet game for A1200/4000 but Aminet web uploading is broken.

So I need a way to try to upload it via FTP.

Has anyone ever used FTP on XP?

Which FREE FTP client should I try?

I don't want to infect my poor computer.
Wanna try a wonderfull strategy game with lots of handdrawn anims,
Magic Spells and Monsters, Incredible playability and lastability,
English speech, etc. Total Chaos AGA

Hi,

You could always use the basic command-line FTP client that's included with XP.

Or, if you want something GUI-based, use FileZilla.

FTP Explorer

WSGet

Also. IE6+ supports FTP via the browser...in a folder view.

If you're willing to spend money, the PC version of DOpus is excellent.

I think IE itself acts an FTP client.

I usually go to my site by doing a ftp://ftp.mysite.com

A windows comes up that says "You cannot access this folder"

Then I go up to "File" and select "Login As", put in my user name and password and then I can drag and drop files.

Maybe you could do a similar things with ftp://aminet.net ??


Or you could always install WinUAE, there are LOTS of good spyware free FTP clients out there for Amiga;-)  We may not have the browser, but if you need ftp we own that!  Even if you want to mount FTP as a drive!  You have to pay $70 to do that in Windows.  :lol:

Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.

Has a few spyware free FTP clients.
Check towards the bottom. WS_FTP LE is shareware.

That being said, the Windows built in CLI FTP client is
fine, you'd just need to learn a few commands.

In order to upload to the Aminet, go to ftp://main.aminet.net/new/ in Internet Explorer (Firefox doesn't support uploads although it will do FTP downloads just fine) go to the file menu, select "log in as" and type in anonymous as user name and your email address as password (or better yet type your email address in notepad and copy and paste so you can see what you're typing ;-) ).  You should be able to do drag and drop from there.  (I haven't uploaded anything to the Aminet just yet so this part is untested.)
