What are the various? Have you ever had to upload videos, pictures or other files to your hosting using FTP? If you are reading this article, then undoubtedly yes. What is ftp, ssh, sftp and what is RDP used for? About it . Next, let's take a look at the most popular and easy-to-use FTP clients.

What FTP clients are mainly used for :

1) Placement of site pages on the Internet server by the developer;

2) Downloading music and various programs Internet users. Often this is not even recognized by many Internet residents as the use of an FTP client and protocol, since many public servers do not ask for additional authentication data, and Internet browsers (which are also FTP clients) download files without additional installations.

FTP clients have their pros and cons, as do most programs. They are all similar to each other in a set of functions and even an interface. But which ones are the most popular?

FTP clients:

FileZilla- a convenient and most importantly free FTP manager that will do the work with files
simple and straightforward. Supports most languages ​​(including Russian) and has the ability to adjust the baud rate. FileZilla can help you download and upload files from any FTP server. A large number of settings will make your work convenient. In addition, FileZilla is available for different operating systems, and the nice interface is an added bonus.

You can find the program and download it without problems at filezilla.ru and filezilla-project.org.

Cyberduck- FTP client with support, in addition to the main protocol, also encrypted SFTP and others less common, for example WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google docs, including the protocol for iPhone and iPad - SSH.

For FTP connections, developers can use the bookmark manager, there is automatic resumption of transmission in case of connection loss, support for various encodings, the ability to self-assign the default program for FTP-connection, built-in log.Cyberduck - useful tool which will give you the ability to connect to remote hosts and upload or download required files... The program has many functions and a friendly minimalistic interface that is pleasant to work with.

WinSCP- an equally well-known FTP client that helps to securely move files from a local computer to a server. True, it is slightly inferior in speed to previous FTP-managers, but it has a convenient feature - it searches for files throughout the server.

The WinSCP FTP client supports the following protocols: SFTP, SCP, SSH-1, SSH-2, which also differs from analogues. WinSCP multilingual, including Russian language support. The program runs on Windows.

SmartFTPIs a powerful and reliable program for transferring files between a local computer and a server on the Internet using the FTP protocol. A compact and safe program will make it possible to use it for publishing and maintaining sites, downloading images, documents, films and music, exchanging files between like-minded people, creating backups of local or remote files. It should be noted that the program is paid and is intended only for Windows.

Core FTPIs a free but feature-rich FTP client. In addition to FTP, the program also supports the protocols HTTP, HTTPS, SSL, TLS, SSH, SFTP.

The standard graphical shell and the presence of only English does not affect the simplicity and usability of this program.

An FTP client with flexible settings, easily integrates into browsers, supports resuming interrupted transfers, allows you to transfer files directly from one remote server to another, etc.

FlashFXP- a functional and convenient FTP manager that has high performance and supports the technologies necessary for the developer. With it, you can work through a proxy without any problems, the program has no restrictions on the size of the downloaded file, it can import lists of servers from most common programs, supports / TLS authorization, and much more.

With the help of the program, it is very convenient to download files that are located in different folders or even on different FTP servers. FlashFXP graphical shell is simple and user-friendly.

In addition, FlashFXP has the ability to manage the transfer of files between servers (FXP).

These and many other FTP clients are used for a more convenient and quality Internet experience. If the FTP client you are using is not in this list, share your opinion in the comments as to why you chose this particular FTP manager.

The second part of our review - this is SSH clients... What is an SSH client for? SSH is an application layer network protocol that allows you to remote control operating system and tunneling TCP connections (wikipedia). An SSH client is needed to work over SSH. The client is used to log into the remote machine and execute the required commands.

Let's take a look at the most popular and commonly used SSH clients. If you are using any other SSH client that is not on our list, write about it in the comments. Perhaps your advice will help blog readers make a choice.

SSH - clients:

Let's start with a free programPutty,which is used for remote work with servers, FreeBSD, * BSD. Useful and convenient program has great opportunities to connect to the server mainly via SSH protocol, but it is also possible to use telnet protocol.

Significant advantages of the program are a high degree of reliability and flexible customization of the program. The main drawback is a rather complicated interface for inexperienced users, which is difficult to understand due to the lack of program documentation.

PuTTY allows you to connect and manage a remote host - server.

Xshell- the client supports many required protocols and works on all Windows operating systems. All actions are performed using the command line, which allows you to connect to Unix and Linux.

There is no Russian language in the interface, but Russian encodings are supported. A flexible graphical shell makes working with this program convenient and pleasant for professional use.

KiTTY- a compact SSH, Telnet and Rlogin client, a modified version of PuTTY version 0.64, one of the best telnet / SSH clients in the world, which runs on the Windows platform. It differs from similar programs in its rich functionality: a built-in console chat server running through port 1987, ZModem, link support, tools to change the appearance of the terminal and the ability to integrate into CygWin.

Free open source program source code is very popular with users.

And to complete the list of popular SSH clients -ZOC,which supports telnet, SSH, SSH2, and ISDN. The paid program has great functionality and works withUnix and Windows. The ZOC program supports vt102, vt220, as well as several types of ansi and Wyse, TVI, TN3270, TN5250, CDE Sun's. ZOC works with file transfer protocols including X-, Y-, Zmodem, Kermit protocol, and more.

For everyday work, the above capabilities are enough, but the real functionality of ZOC is much richer. Free trial period - 30 days.

Powerful scripting language and automatic start actions based on typed text - key unique features ZOC.

What's the best way to use it? Due to its ease of use and reliability, most users recommend PuTTY for Windows, but choosing an SSH client depends only on what functionality you need.

If we consider FTP and SSH clients in the context of hosting, appropriate access is required to use them, so ftp access is issued when ordering any , and SSH access when ordering or

There are several ways to upload and unpack the zipped file to an FTP server. This may be required when installing CMS, restoring a backup. Let's consider them in more detail.

Cross-platform SFTP clients

Built-in powerful text editor with syntax highlighting and password manager. Suitable for those who are used to making a universal harvester out of the browser.

The program works under Windows, Linux and Mac OS. The free application has extremely poor functionality and is absolutely not competitive: it does not support SFTP, proxy, synchronization, etc. Pro has all this, but you will have to pay 25-40 y.e. for it. The paid version is no different from its free counterparts.

Windows Clients

Downloading the program from the official website: https://winscp.net/eng/download.php.

A graphical multilingual client, distributed free of charge. Offers a choice of two interfaces: like in Windows Explorer and classic in the style of Norton Commander. WinSCP can:

Gftp - client for Linux OS

Cross-platform utility, but more commonly used on Unix-like OSes. There is a graphical interface, but it also works through the command line.

Works with protocols: FTP, SFTP and FTPS. Russified, there is a built-in file manager, can open files different types: video, text, html, mp3, etc. Integrates with other applications. Supports working with multiple servers and allows you to customize the permissions. Convenient and functional addition.

No matter how actively promoted cloud technologies, file storage, traditionally, is often easier and cheaper on FTP servers. Essentially, FTP clients are just as much a necessary category. software just like regular file managers. Of course, there is no need to talk about "newbies" here: there was and is a well-established selection of programs both among paid and among free solutions.

IN this review I will talk about free FTP-clients, not so much well-known as "motley". The greatest attention will be paid to such aspects as protocol support, security, interface, as well as additional functions (synchronization, caching, search, and others).

FileZilla

FileZilla is an easy-to-use, cross-platform multilingual client that supports basic protocols such as FTP, SFTP, FTPS, and more, with a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, tab support, directory comparison, synchronization and remote search. The program is regularly updated, which indicates the active status of its development.

The graphical shell is really convenient - it is not overloaded, as is usually the case in programs of this kind, with many panels. At the top and bottom of the window are the Messages Log and the Task Window, in the main part there is a two-column file manager. If the manager seems inconvenient to navigate, you can enable a tree view for local / remote file lists. Tabs are supported. This interface can be called almost classic for GUI FTP clients.

For a quick connection to the host, you can use the Quick Connect Panel; the transfer protocol is also indicated here, for example, sftp: // hostname or ftps: // hostname. But it is more usual to make a list of the necessary sources for connection in the Site Manager. In the settings, again, you can change the protocol (FTP / SFTP), enter credentials, assign local and remote directories that open upon connection, change the type of file transfer (more broadly options are provided in general settings programs). In the Site Manager, as well as in the main window, you can create bookmarks during navigation.

FileZilla has quite flexible data transfer control. First, we mean a visual process of completing tasks, with the ability to pause (for files not exceeding the 4 GB limit). Secondly, the client supports synchronized browsing, directory comparison, filters, caching and, as already mentioned, remote search - standard and necessary functions for navigation.

HTTP / 1.1, SOCKS 5, and FTP proxies are supported. Encryption is additionally available for FTP.

Summary

A simple client that will not satisfy the needs of a professional, but includes all the basic capabilities for working with FTP, SFTP, FTPS.

[+] Documentation in Russian
[+] Simple and user-friendly interface
[+] Cross-platform
[-] No command line (server) support

FTPRush

FTPRush is a once paid client that has recently added to the list of free ones. Notable features include such a function as FXP - transferring files from one site to another "on the fly", flexible interface configuration (in the tradition of panel MS Office 2000-2003), SSL / TLS / SFTP encryption, Z-compression during transmission ...

Appearance is more flexible than FileZilla, just look in the "View" menu or open context menu any of the areas. The following is provided: drag and drop, enable and disable panels, buttons, customize column columns.

The connection manager has a lot of server settings in stock, it supports SFTP (moreover, options for configuring SSL are found in the corresponding section), SSH, insecure FTP, TFTP. You can specify a time zone, define local / remote directories, add bookmarks. If you have several configurations, it is convenient to apply global settings, there is no need to reconfigure several configurations. Exception lists, notifications, priorities, and other advanced options are available. A number of options are presented related to connecting the program to the server and transferring files. There are several types of proxies to choose from, including SOCKS, Z-compression settings. Not to mention customizing hotkeys and mouse actions.

The scheduler is available through the Task Window. Not to say that it is ideal in the current implementation, but it performs its functions and, in addition, allows you to specify a scenario or an action from the list to be performed. To create scripts, a constructor is used, which is available in the "Tools" menu. Also in this section you can see the list of FTP-commands. Remote search can be found in the "FTP" section of the menu.

Perhaps the only point that causes criticism is the very low-quality translation into Russian.

Summary

As a result, we get a free product with professional product functions.

[-] Poor interface translation
[+] Excellent functionality
[+] A large number of settings
[+] Support for secure protocols and encryption methods

WinSCP

WinSCP is an open source client that works with FTP, SFTP, SCP and FTPS (, protocol comparison table), scripting and command line support.

One of the primary features is the ability to choose an interface in one of two options - Explorer or Commander. In the first case, the result is an imitation of an explorer pane (with remote access mode) with a left side pane and accompanying hotkey layout. If we talk about the second type of interface, then here, rather, there are analogies with Far Manager, MC, Norton Commander, while keyboard shortcuts are also close to classic file managers.

Support for sessions, tabs, directory synchronization, source / destination file comparison are among other possibilities. Many panels are customizable, you can pin / unpin them, remove them through the View menu. However, WinSCP is the least graphical client in the typical sense, here the device is somewhat different. The functionality will not impress an inexperienced user due to the fact that many options are hidden in the command mode - in the menu you can find an exit to the Putty utility, the command line and other special tools for working with the above protocols.

The declared support for scripts will be useful for automating data transfers or scheduling tasks (which will be of interest to advanced users). Enough detailed instructions on scheduling tasks in Windows via the command line in the guide.

As for FTP, the functionality is rather mediocre, and, moreover, there is no FXP function, which, for example, is almost the main one in FTPRush. However, FXP is not supported on every server.

On the page with translations, you can find partial russification (80% done).

Summary

The client is intended for an audience of advanced users who primarily work with the SFTP, SCP and FTPS protocols using a terminal.

[+] Management via the console
[+] Flexible configuration of SFTP, SCP and FTPS
[+] Quite good automation capabilities

Cyberduck is not a typical product in the FTP client niche, as it is positioned most of all as a "file browser" for Windows and Mac OS platforms. Supported protocols are FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Cloud Files, Google Drive, Google Storage and Amazon S3.

When launched, the program prompts you to import hosts from FileZilla, and the specified addresses will be bookmarked. The program uses a single-panel mode, for a desktop client in this case it is not optimal at all and causes only inconvenience. To upload files, you need to open a separate window, similarly - to view the queue of tasks. To change access rights, you need to go to the "Access Rights" tab of the "Info" section. All standard operations related to working with FTP are collected in the Action menu. You can see a search box in the program, but, as it turned out, this is a kind of filter by name, but not a search by file.

If the program cannot be noted for the convenience of FTP-mode, then, perhaps, someone will be attracted by some additional functions, including support for storage of cloud services, such as Google Drive or Amazon S3. There were no fine settings for integration with services. To export documents from Google Docs, you can choose a file format, in the case of Amazon - encryption settings, etc. Regarding functionality, again, nothing can be said about Cyberduck's protection: for example, a simple operation like assigning access rights to Google Drive is much more intuitive in the original interface. The use of an inconvenient alternative seems questionable here.

In general, due to the very simple interface, Cyberduck cannot be called the optimal client for working with the above services. However, as a file manager for viewing documents, it will do just fine. One can only hope that the developers will "tighten" the functionality in one of the directions - either work with FTP, or support for cloud services.

Summary

Despite support for FTP, SFTP, and other protocols, Cyberduck is only useful for uploading or downloading files, viewing documents on Google Docs, and other simple operations. That is, the most basic work with the declared protocols and services is provided.

[+] Unified interface
[-] Few settings
[-] Inconvenient file manager
[-] weak support for cloud services

CoreFTP LE

This file manager is notable for its support for SFTP, SSL, TLS, FTPS, IDN, command line mode, FXP, and several types of proxies. LE is a free lite version of the client, PRO contains many additional features such as file encryption, zip archiving, synchronization, etc.

CoreFTP LE is old school. And, although the arrangement of the panels is quite intuitive, everything needs to be reconfigured to work comfortably. You can use the Reset View command to change the display mode: for example, shift the logs up, remove unnecessary panels, etc.

If we talk about the possibilities when working with FTP, the standard functions of CoreFTP include creating tasks for several sites, recursive operations with files (upload, download and delete). Multithreading is not available in the LE version, however, a considerable number of options are open in the "Connections" section. In the Transfers section, you can enable compression - in the LE version, however, not all options are available.

The site manager is very flexible in setting, pleases the number of protocols and options provided for SSH, SSL / TSL. Security settings can be found in "Advanced File Settings". Proxies are not forgotten, FTP Proxy / HTTP 1.1 / SOCKS are available in the list. For advanced users, the "Script / Cmds" section will be of interest, although, apparently, the command mode is presented here more modestly than in WinSCP, and there is no terminal.

Summary

FTP client with a traditional interface and solid functionality for free version, with a lot of settings related to security, data transfer, connections.

[-] No scheduler
[-] Outdated interface
[+] Good functionality
[+] Advanced SSH, SSL / TSL and proxy settings

BitKinex

The list of features listed on the BitKinex website boils down to the convenience of the user environment, however, if you pay attention to other aspects, the bottom line will be support for FTP, FXP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTP, HTPS, WebDAV, FXP and Indirect Transfers (FTP -> SFTP, WebDAV-> FTPS, HTTP-> FTP, etc.). Other possibilities are shown on the page. It follows from them that BitKinex can also be used to create mirrors, as a download manager - that is, a very versatile client.

To create a connection, the “Quick Connect” start-up wizard is intended, which, however, can be skipped by going to the “Control Window”. Here are collected data sources for all kinds of protocols, each of which lends itself to careful configuration. All sources are grouped by protocol type.

Operations with files on the server are performed in another window - "Browse Window", which opens when connected to the source. This window presents a standard two-column manager. In the main area there are local and remote sources, on the left - a list of hosts, at the bottom - a list of tasks and a log.

Integration with Windows Explorer is possible, drag and drop is supported between windows, and, most interestingly, drag & drop of data between protocols. There are many file and folder operations available, such as compare, lock, change CHMOD permissions and other operations. The program supports command line mode. Additional features include synchronization and mirroring.

Summary

A universal manager for a wide range of protocols, with its own interesting ideology, flexible settings. Will interest users who work with multiple sources, experienced webmasters and system administrators.

[+] Excellent functionality
[+] Convenient grouping of sources
[-] Insufficiently intuitive interface

CoffeeCup is known for its simple, "casual" software, and the Free FTP client is no exception. In describing features, the word "easy" is often used. Nevertheless, not only FTP is supported, but also SFTP, FTPS, which made it possible to include this client in the review.

To create a connection, you need to go to the "Manage Servers", where the S-Drive account has already settled. The program quite obsessively "recommends" to connect this service, it cannot be removed from the site manager.

Obviously, the CoffeeCup Free FTP client is aimed at working with static sites, since there is a built-in editor with autocompletion, code folding, highlighting and other conveniences. Alas, it is available only in the paid version and at the same time it takes up half of the workspace of the program and a separate section of settings. It can be easily removed from view by switching to the "FTP View" mode.

There are few basic options, especially regarding secure protocols. In principle, it makes sense that the novice user would rather prefer the insecure and more familiar FTP. The settings also contain proxy parameters, although you cannot select the type of connection, it is only possible to add the server (s) to the list. Notable features include a built-in ZIP archiver. Oddly enough, is there also a place for the PuTTY client - a "spare" in case CoffeeCup Free FTP is used by experienced users?

Summary

The CoffeeCup client is extremely easy to use as the functionality does not allow for confusion. Perhaps it will be useful for novice webmasters who need to edit HTML files on the server, or during the period of acquaintance with web technologies.

[+] The client is easy to learn
[-] Obsession with S-Drive
[-] Lack of search, synchronization and comparison of directories
[-] Built-in text editor

With it, you can be sure that all your files are protected when copying. Of course, if the computer and the server work using these protocols. Distributed under the GNU GPL license. Provides secure copying of files between the computer and servers that support these protocols.

The main features of the program:

  1. Has a graphical interface similar to Norton Commander.
  2. All file operations are available - saving, deleting, etc.
  3. Everything works automatically, using scripts
  4. Integration with Pageant (PuTTY Agent) with support for public key authorization.
  5. Integration with Windows (support for Drag & Drop, shortcuts, support for URL schemes).
  6. Has a built-in text editor. It can work with keys and versions of the SSH protocol.
  7. You can log in using password, public key authentication, or Kerberos.

  10. WinSCP supports SFTP and SCP over SSH-1 and SSH-2, besides this FTP.
  11. Has a plugin that supports the SFTP protocol in the FAR Manager program.

Nowadays, any PC connected to the Internet using any data transfer protocol must be protected. Today this is no longer an opinion - it is a rule, and not only the convenience of the user depends on its observance, but also his peace of mind and safety.

Moreover, this security must be provided for all functions, all programs and all actions, even not immediately clear at first glance. So even if you are not told anything by the SCP and SFTP protocols, which, in turn, run on top of other protocols, SSH-1 and SSH-2, you still remember that data needs protection. The Winscp Windows client uses these protocols in secure file copying between the computer and the servers that support these protocols. This is the main function of Winscp, but far from the only one.

The developer company provides the opportunity free download winscp in Russian... At the same time, as updates are released, the program in automatic mode will download and install them for free.


The program is positioned as a secure file manager, easy to learn and use. A very convenient and simple tool when working with remote Linux servers. Winscp allows you to fully work with files on the server - it performs the entire basic range of operations: deleting, editing and creating. Allows you to move and copy, create directories and shortcuts, and, of course, change properties (change rights and owner recursively).

Program interface:

Interface Winscp programs is offered in two versions - which is more familiar to whom. The first option is an ageless computer classic in the style of Norton Commander, aimed at the category of users who do not like mice, but they agree with keyboards perfectly. Suitable for seasoned and advanced admins, as well as other specialists in the field of server administration.

The second option is modern style Internet Explorer , and it is usually chosen by connoisseurs of the Windows line of operating systems or young administrators. Each version of the interface offers a wide range of various settings, and the choice in favor of one or the other is made when installing the software - which, however, does not negate the possibility of changing it later in the process of use.

Winscp provides the user with a full range of tools for synchronizing directories in automatic or semi-automatic mode, and also has extensive capabilities of an integrated text editor that can be replaced with any other. Can be used to control and command line, but scripts can significantly improve the control functionality - with their help, a number of operations can be performed automatically without constant swotting of the user with clarifying questions.

If the capabilities of the scripts to solve the assigned tasks began to be lacking, then the program developers suggest using the more advanced WinSCP.NET solution, which allows you to use such high-level programming languages ​​as C # and VB.NET.
The program is equipped with a completely comprehensive helper file, which can be accessed by pressing the About button, it opens links to the application's help service.

Initially, the program was distributed exclusively in English, but now this is no longer a problem, on our website you can download Winscp for free in Russian. Although, it is possible to download the crack separately.

Additional features and capabilities of the program:

  • simple and intuitive interface, similar to appearance with Windows file manager;
  • convenient sftp client for windows;
  • work with portable storage media;
  • export of your own connection settings;
  • the ability to work not with the registry, but with the configuration file.
Attractive functionality and ease of use made WinSCP popular, and to evaluate it personally, you just need to download and install it on your Windows computer.
