FTP, most definitely

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?

We use both ... depending on the application. Stay with what you're comfortable with, as long as it gets the job done.

Another vote for FileZilla, it's free and fairly easy to use.

I rather ftp over file manager although file manager has an advantage I like over ftp and that is when you go to delete a folder and its contents in ftp (I use coreftp) it takes a while to process but if you delete it from file manager it's automatic.

ftp.. use coreftp and filezilla or cyberduck on my mac

 

[charlier]

Ideally I'd use SFTP....

But just a good client over FTP is what I use.

I use File Manager for huge files its way faster, but if i want to upload one file or two i just use FTP.

I use FTP, its easy and simple, moreover it save lots of time.

I use WS_FTP for uploading and managing files. The only reason I use cPanel's File Manager is if I need to delete a large number of files quickly as cP's File Manager seems to do this a lot quicker than stand-alone FTP apps.

I use them both but 90% of the time I use FTP. I use Fetch on Mac OS X.

FTP for sure especially if you have more than 1 hosting accounts. CuteFTP is a cool program!

Another filezilla fanatic.

If your host has it installed, webdisk is fantastic. A link is saved on your computer and when you double click it, a window of your website's directory is opened and you just copy/paste files there as if you're copy/pasting on your own computer. The only difference is speed of course

I prefer SFTP, but ftp I use ftp when that's not available for some reason.
