Transferring files to and from your web host or server is best done with what’s commonly known an FTP client, though the term is a bit dated because there are more secure alternatives such as SFTP and FTPS.

When I was putting together this list, this was my criteria:
20 Best FTP clients for Mac, Windows, these File Transfer Protocol will help you to get your work done quickly and save a lot of time. 20 Best FTP Client for Mac & Windows 2020. Another popular open-source FTP client with loads of features and an easy to use interface.
- Supports secure file transfer protocols: FTP isn’t secure. Among its many flaws, plain FTP doesn’t encrypt the data you’re transferring. If your data is compromised en route to its destination, your credentials (username and password) and your data can easily be read. SFTP (which stands for SHH File Transfer Protocol) is a popular secure alternative, but there are many others.
- Has a GUI: There are some awesome FTP clients with a command-line interface, but for a great number of people, a graphical user interface is more approachable and easier to use.

1. FileZilla
Topping the list is FileZilla, an open source FTP client. It’s fast, being able to handle simultaneous transmissions (multi-threaded transfers), and supports SFTP and FTPS (which stands for FTP over SSL). What’s more, it’s available on all operating systems, so if you work on multiple computers — like if you’re forced to use Windows at work but you have a Mac at home — you don’t need to use a different application for your file-transferring needs.
Available on Windows, Mac OS and Linux
2. Cyberduck
Cyberduck can take care of a ton of your file-transferring needs: SFTP, WebDav, Amazon S3, and more. It has a minimalist UI, which makes it super easy to use.
Available on Windows and Mac OS
3. FireFTP
This Mozilla Firefox add-on gives you a very capable FTP/SFTP client right within your browser. It’s available on all platforms that can run Firefox.

4. Classic FTP
![Ftp Ftp](/uploads/1/2/7/2/127212114/850925374.png)
Classic FTP is a file transfer client that’s free for non-commercial use. It has a very simple interface, which is a good thing, because it makes it easy and intuitive to use. I like its “Compare Directories” feature that’s helpful for seeing differences between your local and remote files.
Available on Windows and Mac OS
5. WinSCP
This popular FTP client has a very long list of features, and if you’re a Windows user, it’s certainly worth a look. WinSCP can deal with multiple file-transfer protocols (SFTP, SCP, FTP, and WebDav). It has a built-in text editor for making quick text edits more convenient, and has scripting support for power users.
Available on Windows
Honorable Mention: Transmit
For this post, I decided to focus on free software. But it just doesn’t seem right to leave out Transmit (which costs $34) in a post about FTP clients because it’s a popular option used by web developers on Mac OS. It has a lot of innovative features and its user-friendliness is unmatched. If you’ve got the cash to spare and you’re on a Mac, this might be your best option.

Beyond this, WinSCP offers basic and functionality. For secure transfers, it uses Secure Shell and supports the SCP protocol in addition to SFTP.Development of WinSCP started around March 2000 and continues.

This section possibly contains. Please by the claims made and adding. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. ( July 2019) WinSCP, by default, transfers files larger than 100KB by creating a temporary file named by appending '.filepart' to the original filename. After the file transfer successfully completes, the temporary file is renamed to the original filename.
This is intended to allow resumption of interrupted file transfers - WinSCP tests for the existence of such filenames when transfers are initiated, and if it finds any, will not need to retransmit the part of the file already sent. This is a very effective technique for moving large files over unreliable connections, but undesirable behavior in other circumstances, because it ignores the possibility of filesystem triggered event management (e.g., &etc) or limited permissions/accessibility on the receiving system. A high volume enterprise EDI server may move the.filepart to a heavily firewalled internal system before the rename happens, or a server subject to US security requirements such as may prevent file renaming, for example. The default behavior can be disabled and will generally not be a problem for ad-hoc personal file transfers.Portable version Apart from the standard package, three are also available: A generic package and two customized versions for. The portable version runs on in Linux.
