Is there a free FTP client for WindozeXP that has no spyware?

Umm...  I think the web-based uploader is back up on Aminet...  (I haven't tested it though.)

I Use SMART FTP.

It is free for personal use.

I can grok the notion of:
1.AmigaShell>  TYPE filename.txt > SPEAK:

But how and what do you mount "FTP" as a device?  It's an xfer protocol, though "ftp" is popularly used as a verb, and as names of programs.

Having it as a Amiga device sounds very cool in that very-cool modular Amiga way (like using Parnet to mount your buddy's Amiga's SPEAK: device and make his computer talk trash over the network ;-), but I cannot for the life of me understand the concept of mounting "ftp as a device".  Maybe I'm trying too hard here.

Somebody explain this or start a new topic/thread on it?

Hi,

You can get a filesystem driver, like this one, that'll allow you to mount remote FTP sites as if they were local drives. Then you can use your favourite applications/tools such as DOpus, Workbench, the CLI, etc, to perform operations on that site's files.

SMBFS does the same thing for remote SMB (Samba) shares on Windows and Linux boxes.

I use SMBFS as the main way of getting files from my A3K to/from Linux.
