What Do You Use? FTP or File Manager?

[IkY0294]

Hi, Im Greg im taking a big poll on the web about what People use more FTP or File Manager in cPanel..

I want to know what people like most and think its easy to use.

I like to use File Manager but would like to start using FTP any heads up or anything? Should I stay with File Manager?

I never use cPanel; I always use FTP. Try using FileZilla.

Also take a look at DropBox, it's a free program that syncs a folder across computers.

I never used FileZilla I don't think it works for a Mac I once used ChuberDuck for FTP on my Mac.

You can use Filezilla on a Mac, thou I prefer Fetch.


As to the question, FTP almost always, though File manager has the advantage of being able to unzip.


Does anyone else have an irritation with Filezilla dropping a connection and then taking a while to reconnect?

Filezilla is the best option in my opinion

File Manager in cPanel is circumlocutory; FTP is more smoothly and faster.
Why everyone use FileZilla is a mystery; this is not hte best.

If the file is very large I choose FTP to upload.You can try FileZilla.and the file manager is a tool in cPanel,you can also use it to do some operations,such changing file attributes,compressing files,extracting files and so on.

LeapFTP all the way

I would recommend Filezilla. Very convenient and agile. Although, you can also use File manager in cPanel as it is also a good option incase you do not like Filezilla

Theres 3 I can name

Filezilla
Cyberduck

The best, though not free is Fetch, very cute and allows, ftp between two remote sites.

I use FTP (FileZilla) and don't see any reason to stop.

 

[Matt - HostMist]

I use either Filezilla (FTP) or go through my SSH program which has a built in File Manager while logged into shell.

 

[HostAmigo]

+1 for FileZilla

 

[RSkeens]

I also use FileZilla.

 

[shockym]

FileZilla ftw, been using it for years now and quick and simple - two great reasons I use most things. I do not have time to fight with things to make them work - they just need to work the first time.

 

[bobchrist]

For safety reason avoid using any free open source ftp client.

 

[postasite]

My vote also goes to Filezilla.

I always use FileZilla as it is easy to use & most convincing FTP software.
