FTPShell Client

What it is

FTPShell Client is a Windows file-transfer program for FTP, FTPS, and SFTP connections. FTPS uses SSL/TLS, while SFTP uses SSH. The client supports Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11, plus Windows Server 2003 through 2022. File synchronization, scheduled transfers, and transfer automation are included. It can unzip files after downloading and zip them before uploading. A syntax-highlighting editor handles local or remote files, and FXP transfers files directly between remote servers. The Personal Edition is free for non-commercial use; the Pro Edition adds task scheduling, remote search, folder comparison and synchronization, and server-to-server transfers. Pro one-time plans cost $59.95 for one year of updates, $79.95 for two years, or $99.95 for three years. Enterprise adds FTP script creation and execution, script support for FTPS and SFTP, command-line execution, and scheduled scripts, starting at $199.95, paid once for one year of updates. A 30-day trial is available. License keys are emailed, with delivery allowed up to 24 hours after payment.
