Advantages: Available as shareware, Simple to use, many features

Disadvantages: Have to pay up after 30 days :(

CuteFTP may sound 'cute' and rather like a tacky sales gimic type name, but this FTP utility is undoubtedly one of the industry standards.

For those of you that do not know or understand; FTP means File Transfer Protocol. FTP programs allow a user to upload files to a server, such as html documents (web pages) for public viewing. It's use's are quite diverse but you may now understand where I'm coming from.

CuteFTP is a shareware program, allowing you to try it out for 30 days, then having to pay the equivilant of £20 or so in $s to keep it.

You may be asking yourself "why pay for something when there are alternatives that are free"? Well the answer is simple, CuteFTP is simply a great program, it does everything you would want it too and more.

It's features include:

Mulitple Location Management - For easy uploading to different servers.

A queing system - Allowing files to be uploaded to be lined up and ready to go.

Advanced Features - Such as the ability to set the CHMOD settings.

Automatic Reports and Logging - Allow the user to analyse speeds, file sizes etc.

What I like most about this program is it's simple layout and easy-to-use features. This program is a must for beginners and advanced users alike. A 'must have' for all web enthusiasts and authorers.
