Using FTP Programs

FTP programs are more robust than FTP Manager, allowing you to transfer files from a remote computer across the Internet much easier. FTP programs are generally more flexible than FTP Manager, allowing you to automatically restart interrupted transfers, schedule file transfers for later, transfer multiple files at once, synchronize folders, monitor and identify changed files, record FTP sessions, customize the look of your file sessions, and much more.
