Do you often download files and data from FTP sites? Are you a webmaster and need to download and upload files and data from/to your web sites? Do you have a personal web site need to manage? A suited FTP client is the necessary tool you must have. I am a webmaster of a small company and I have used several FTP clients in my work. Here I will recommend a few powerful and easy to use FTP client to you. That is BitKinex FTP Client. Below are the detailed functions presentation and features comparison of it.

BitKinex FTP Client is a multifunctional FTP client tool that integrates the functionality of an innovative FTP client, SFTP client and WebDAV client for Windows. In addition to features found in other popular FTP programs (like support for the SSL/SSH, multipart and multithreaded transfers, remote edit or FXP) BitKinex FTP Client introduces several unique approaches and solutions. With just one click we can minimize the space occupied by the program to one small window showing the status of running requests, and with just a few clicks we can see all the details again. In contrast to other FTP clients BitKinex uses multiple connections not only for file transfers but for browsing remote directories as well. We don't need to wait when we make a mistake and accidentally click on a wrong folder. BitKinex FTP Client allows us to click on the right one immediately and instantly starts to retrieve the content of the directory we want to see using another connection. The unique technology of indirect server-to-server transfers allows us to transfer files between servers running different transfer protocols. The key functions and features of BitKinex FTP Client include:

BitKinex FTP Client's built-in request manager watches all our tasks in detail, regardless if we're uploading web pages, moving complex directory structures, editing remote files, or creating new directories. Unlike other programs, BitKinex FTP Client does not differentiate between file trasnfers and other requests. BitKinex FTP Client assigns high priority status to all our requests, handles them the same way and automatically uses all available connections to process them in the shortest time possible.

In addition, completed requests are automatically archived in a separate History tab so we will never lose the overview of all our previous activities. Another great way to speed-up and simplify our work is the ability to restart existing requests. If we have to periodically update our web pages or backup our data, just click on the traffic light symbol in the request list and BitKinex FTP Client restarts the transfer automatically!

The vast majority of computer users don't place a high priority on understanding all of the details pertaining to data transfers and management. Therefore, BitKinex FTP Client communicates with us via a highly scalable user interface which doesn't disturb us from our primary tasks. BitKinex FTP Client increases our productivity by allowing us to solve other tasks while processing our requests in the background. With just one click we can minimize the space occupied by BitKinex FTP Client to one small window showing the status of running requests, and with just a few clicks we can see all the details again. Sound alerts and a blinking icon on the system taskbar will let us know as soon as the status of any of our requests changes.

For our convenience, all remote servers (as well as our local computer) within BitKinex FTP Client are simply called "data sources." This is due to the unified handling of all user requests (regardless which transfer protocol has to be used). It is also a result of the supported indirect transfers which let us transfer our files between two remote servers running different protocols, between a remote server and our local machine or just copying from one directory to another directory on our machine - all unattended.

The strictly supported properties inheritance is a mechanism which makes the configuration of our data sources easy and flexible. We can use folders to create data source groups exactly the same way we create folders in Windows Explorer. Each data source can inherit all or selected properties from the parent folder, or define them by itself. We can decide which options should be used globally, which should be valid for a specific group and which data sources need their own special settings.

In contrast to ordinary FTP clients, the robust request handling engine and smart user interface found within BitKinex FTP Client allows simple usage of multiple transfer protocols in a way never seen before. The set of protocols supported today includes FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS and WebDAV and will continue to grow in the near future. The built-in certificate manager together with support for the SSH2 password and public key authentication and HTTP basic and digest authorization gurantees a high level of security for all our activities in the dangerous world of Internet.

In addition, BitKinex FTP Client provides a free trial for us. It is a standalone software and does not need any extra software and hardware requirement. BitKinex FTP Client does not contain any adware or spyware. It works with most recent variants of Windows. With all these features, simple interface, excellent usability, and free trial - why are you still reading? Download the free trial now and experience what powerful and effective it is at once!

BitKinex integrates the functionality of an innovative FTP/FTPS/SFTP/HTTP/HTTPS/WebDAV client, download manager and mirroring software. It allows you to simply copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop files from one server to another or to the local machine. Morgul supports FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, WebDAV protocols with optional SSL security and offers a compact interface that reminds of an Instant Messenger; opening a server however reveals a more traditional file transfer interface.

BitKinex also integrates with Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer to provide quick file transfers to any (or all) of the registered servers. Additional features include multithreaded request processing, multi-part downloading, transfer resume and more. A unique file transfer and FTP client that is well worth a look.
