Here I will recommend a few powerful and easy to use FTP client to you. That is Beyond FTP Client. Below are the detailed functions presentation and features comparison of it.

Beyond FTP Client is a simple and handy FTP client. Beyond FTP Client is easy to install and use, with its state of the art "explorer-like" drag and drop interface, file distributions and collections are only a few mouse clicks away. Beyond FTP Client allows us to define scripts, server lists, and file lists in an easy and intuitive way. Beyond FTP Script Editor guides us through every step. There is no programming to learn, no large learning curve - and we don't have to know the vagaries of FTP commands. Beyond FTP Client is the tool that professionals use when they want to transfer their corporate files quickly, reliably and securely. The key functions and features of Beyond FTP Client include:

Beyond FTP Client includes a forms based script designer makes scripting of complex tasks easy. There is no need for us to know FTP commands. There are over 100 example scripts that we can customize to our environment.

Beyond FTP Client uses Lock-SAFE technology. We can use Beyond FTP's industry standard encryption to send our file transfers to any FTP Server. We can set up a public directory for non-encrypted files and a Lock-SAFE directory for private sensitive data. Beyond FTP also supports SFTP, SSL2, SSL3, TLS and PCT secure protocols.

Beyond FTP Client will automatically retry and restart transfers. After the transfer completes successfully Beyond FTP Client will verify the integrity of the file. This guarantees that the file will be sent, and when it is complete, it is correct.

Beyond FTP Client has incorporated in it, a peer to peer technology, allowing it to connect to Beyond FTP Servers and allowing Beyond FTP Servers to connect to it. In other words, every Beyond FTP Client can be a server and every Beyond FTP Server can act as a client.

Beyond FTP Client runs as a Windows XP, 2000, 2003 service so our machine does not have to be logged on continuously. Also, if the machine is rebooted for any reason Beyond FTP Client will be loaded automatically. This is particularly important for mission critical sites and applications.

Beyond FTP Client supports multiple simultaneous transfers to one server. This speeds up transfers allowing for full usage of bandwidth. With Beyond FTP Client, all of our FTP sites are securely stored (password protected) and accessed via the Beyond FTP Address Book. Sites may be grouped together in folders for visual convenience. The address book can also be exported and imported.

Beyond FTP Client supports automatic dial-up management. Automatic connection and disconnection to a dial-up Internet Service Provider (ISP) is supported if needed. This allows complete user intervention free operation.

Beyond FTP Client allows ad-hoc transfer with an explorer-like drag and drop interface. Drag files from one window to another to initiate transfers. File deleting, renaming, and attribute modification are supported, as well as, directory creation and deletion.

Beyond FTP Client supports file synchronization and archiving. File synchronization is supported, meaning that, the source and destination files are compared and only files that are new or have been modified will be sent. Other modifiers are also available including: send only new files (add), send files only if they exist and are newer (freshen), send only older files (rollback). In addition, source or destination (or both) files may be archived - when a transfer is completed successfully the file is moved to an archive directory automatically.

Beyond FTP Client scripting allows external programs to be run at any point in the script. This provides processing of files. For example a program can be run that extracts data from a database and then transfers the data - when the data reaches the destination another script picks up the data and stores it into it's local database. Beyond FTP allows entire directory structures to be transferred. This feature allows easy mirroring of entire sites or portions of sites.

Beyond FTP Clients and Servers can be remotely administered provided that we has administrator rights on the remote machine. Address Book distribution, Remote Distributions, Beyond FTP configuration, and Beyond FTP Security are all supported. Our entire FTP network can be modified without us leaving our desk.

Beyond FTP Client can search an entire FTP site for one file or provide a filter based on wildcards, dates of modification, or file size. Beyond FTP Client gives us the ability to track and control every facet of a distribution or transfer. Distributions and transfers can be monitored real-time or checked after completion. A convenient reporting mechanism allows us to get hard copy results of all your distributions and transfers. Beyond FTP Client also provides statistical analysis of our distributions and transfers with an easy to use 3D charting system.

Beyond FTP Client allows us to send email or pager messages based on the failure or success of a distribution. This allows us or administrator to proactively deal with failures such as a site being down.

Beyond FTP Client allows us to schedule scripts or transfers for any date and time either once or repeatedly. Scripts can be repeated automatically according to the following user criteria: after n seconds, minutes, or hours; daily, daily except on weekends, daily during a time range (i.e. every hour between 1:00am and 6:00am), weekly, monthly, at the end of the month, yearly and several more combinations of the above. Beyond FTP Client also maintains a holiday schedule.

Beyond FTP Client allows us download content directly from a World Wide Web Server without the need for an FTP Server. Beyond FTP Client has support for FTP proxies and FTP User proxies as well as Beyond FTP to Beyond FTP Socks4 and Socks5 firewall traversal support.

Beyond FTP Client normally recognizes and displays FTP information in an explorer-like format. Beyond FTP Client also allows us to define templates for FTP Servers whose display format is not automatically recognized.

Beyond FTP Client provides contextual help via the F1 key. The help system is a mirror of the actual program so that once the help system is activated we can explore and get help for the program by clicking on individual sections of the screen images.
