Nowadays, the FTP service is the most used method for transferring and sharing files from and to the Internet. That's because the FTP service has a couple of advantages over other web sharing methods. It's reliable, has a very good speed and can be used together with a lot of applications. But in order to benefit from all what FTP has to offer, you will first need a specialized application for this. There are numerous programs on the market which allow you to access FTP servers, but most of them are really difficult to use and have a lot of useless features. On the other hand, the FTP client included in the Windows operating system is too simple and too inconvenient to use.

A FTP client which really works and can be used by almost any computer user is Xftp. This simple Windows application can be installed with minimum effort in very little time, using just a couple of clicks. After installing and running the program, the user will be presented with a simple and graphical interface which resembles the one of Windows Explorer, having two file panels. The left panel will display all the files and folders located on the hard disk, while the right panel will show all the files and folders stored on the FTP server.

First of all, the user will need to connect to the desired FTP server in order to use the application. This can be done in two ways, either by manually entering the FTP server link, username and password or by storing all this data as a bookmark, for making it easier to access a FTP server again and again, without having to enter any credentials.

After connecting to the desired FTP site, the user can start transferring files and folders to and from the FTP server using drag and drop. The program also includes a feature for synchronizing folders, which automatically copies files and folders from the local location to the FTP server. A feature which makes Xftp different from other similar programs is the possibility to export a session together with all its settings to a file, for reusing it later on.

Pros

Xftp is free for home and school use. It allows you to connect to any FTP site using two simple methods. Besides that, the interface is very intuitive, resembling Windows Explorer and allowing you to perform file operations using drag and drop. Furthermore, the program's session can be exported to a file.

Cons

The program requires some basic knowledge regarding FTP server in order to be fully used. Xftp allows you connect to any FTP server using a simple and intuitive interface and a multitude of features.
