We like to experiment with different FTP clients.
Recently, we tested CoreFTP Lite. We decided that we don't recommend it for non-technical users or diverse remote teams. It is good for IT pros who have experience with FTP servers.
Findings here are the results of running several CAD projects with this client.
Pros:
Free to download and install.
Seems to get through everything. Helpful if you are running or monitoring FTP servers with multiple projects and/or users with different rights. You can easily see where security needs to be tightened.
Cons:
Settings are finicky. We had to keep changing SSL check box options because our selections did not always work consistently.
Our offsite teams did not get reliable results. They complained of time-outs while downloading large amounts of data over slow connections.
Not recommended if you have to download files to a Windows server.
