Java Web Start apps intrigue me, and I'm still surprised how few I've come across to share - last month's look at MuCommander was the first. If you're interested in an FTP client or server, give CrossFTP a try. Both apps download and run in a flash. All of the functions I need for most FTP chores are available in the free, basic version: upload, download, site/connection manager, rename, delete, ...

I wrote before about DropUpload, a simple utility to handle your FTP uploading chores. It's a nice, lightweight alternative for users that don't need a full-blown client like Filezilla. Rightload is another great choice. Install it, and Rightload integrates into the Windows right-click context menu. Don't fret about clutter, it only adds a single line. Right click any file or folder, hover on ...

Ever on the lookout for a better screenshot application, I decided to give Jetscreenshot a chance. It's available free right now, so I figured it was worth a shot (pardon the unintentional pun). Like other similar apps, it's a small download and doesn't consume much in the way of CPU or memory while running, and it hides out in your system tray waiting to grab an image. Use its settings screen ...

Have you ever looked in a real DIYers toolbox? Or maybe even the toolbox of someone who's pretty handy, but who has a messy streak? So all the hammers might be together, or all the screwdrivers will be together, maybe even with some sort of arrangement as to Phillips or Torx heads... but there is almost inevitably, in some corner compartment of the toolbox, or some drawer (and maybe several of ...

So you've got a new version of a file that you need to upload to an FTP server. Sure, you could fire up a full-blown client like FileZilla, but why bother? DropUpLoad offers elegantly simply uploads in a tiny, portable package. It's a 114k download and only consumes 9mb of memory, and is very different from other FTP clients. For example, there's no directory browsing: set up your remote server ...

In many ways, I'm pretty old school. When I learned HTML, I painstakingly handcoded my pages in the esteemed Notepad. Only when I became a master of HTML-fu did I allow myself to try Dreamweaver. (Okay, fine, the ability to buy a license with educational pricing may have had a lot to do with it, too.) I loved Dreamweaver. One of the things that always made me a little sad when I first tried Linux ...

Flow has been in the works since the days of OS X Tiger, but the freshly released version takes things up a notch with a slick UI and a feature set that takes advantage of the power of Leopard. Flow is an FTP client, a text editor with a useful live preview feature, and a bookmark generator for drag-and-drop uploading. Add tabbed navigation and phenomenal ease-of-use, and it's got everything we ...

Mocha FTP Server is a nifty little application for Windows Mobile that will turn your PDA or phone into a FTP server. When the application is running, you can access any of the files on your mobile device by typing the device's IP address into a web browser or FTP client. That's pretty much all there is to it. Once upon a time, it appears that Mocha FTP was a commercial application, but ...

Have you ever needed to access an FTP site while using a friend or colleague's computer? In some cases you can just type the URL into Firefox or Internet Explorer, but life's always a lot easier when you're using a full featured FTP client, so your first impulse is probably to download and install a free client like Filezilla. AnyClient presents another option. It's a browser-based FTP client ...

DockDrop is a simple Mac OS X application that lets you easily and quickly upload files to an FTP, WebDAV, or SCP server, with added support for Flickr uploads. When DockDrop is open, it resides quietly on your dock (hence the name). When you want to upload a file or folder, simply drop the item onto the Dockdrop icon (see again why the name is so apt?). Dockdrop will prompt you for the upload ...

It's been 3 years in the making, but FileZilla 3.0 has finally been released. There aren't a lot of new features in this excellent free FTP client. But the code base has been rewritten from the ground up. And here's the best thing. It's now cross-platform. FileZilla 3.0 runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Because this is a total redesign, FileZilla 3 installs to a new default directory. That means ...

We first metioned Cyberduck FTP here on Download Squad back in 2005, but it's worth revisiting. When you switch from Windows to a Mac, one of the first things you do is to try to find Mac equivalents to your Windows software. Smart FTP is a fantastic (and free for personal, educational and non-profit organizational use) FTP client on Windows. So what is there on the Mac? It turns out that ...

Panic, the fine folks that bring us Transmit, finally revealed the top secret app they've been developing over the past year with the release of the web development application Coda V1.0. This is not a WYSIWYG, drag-and-drop, do-all application. Coda has a specific target audience that consists of people who edit raw code using multiple tools such as a text editor, FTP client, CSS editor and ...

CrossFTP is a 2 pack of FTP goodness. As separated programs, they keep Firefox more stable and reliable for FTP tasks. It comes with an FTP client as well as a server application and only needs the latest version of JRE. This one is very different to FireFTP because it can run as a standalone program. So, instead of opening up Firefox and going through the pull-down menus all the time, you can ...

Free-for-personal-use FTP client SmartFTP hit version 2.0 a couple weeks back and the new version has a number of nice features. The biggest update in this release is its completely re-worked UI, which features docking panes and tabbed local and remote directory browsers. The tabbed windows look like they'll make it easy to switch between multiple open servers and local directories. The new ...
