Considering my web hosts do not provide shell access, a solid FTP client was invaluable for me in making updates and changing websites, since windows “web-based” ftp client is less useful than their console client for me (web-based does not work consistently with directories above user home).

I thought I had found a solid FTP client in SmartFTP. Kent J. Chen’s weblog burst my bubble. However, he did offer up an alternative product, FileZilla. Downloading it now.
