Ever since I got a subdomain I've used Coffeeup FTP. Recently though, Whenever I tried to connect to my sub-domain it wouldn't connect. The loading window pops up and just drags on forever. The green bar will fill up, restart, and fill up again until I stop it. Normally it took like 3 seconds and now I waited 30 minutes and nothing happened. Well, I gave up on trying to get it to work after I tried numerous things to fix the problem. I tried changing settings, re-downloading the program, and I even waited a couple of days to see if the problem would just go away.

Well now I'm Fed up with CoffeeCup and I now need some neew ideas for a new FTP program. Can you give me any suggestions?
freeflow
- smartFTP
- cuteftp
-ws ftp

and for your problem sometimes you just need to redownload the program . That happened to me before w/ another program.

I've never had a problem with CoffeeCup, I used it for a long time. Then I got tired of opening programs and used IE *shudder* instead.

Honestly though, as far as free software goes, I much prefer CoffeeCup over anything else I've tried. Try using Internet Explorer though, it's easier in a lot of ways.

I really like using Smart FTP and CuteFTP. I've never had any problems with those programs.

I'm a big fan of WS_FTP LE on Windows, although it's not available as a free product anymore.

I used to use SmartFTP... But after about 200 days, it started getting mad at me and yelling at me about how it was not a free program, and I tried yelling back at it, but eventually, it won.

So now i use LeechFTP, which is a completely free program that hasn't yelled at me yet. It is lacking in a few features though, such as remembering your login information, but I see that as a bonus. That way, if anyone goes on to your computer, they can't just open it and mess with your files and whatnot.
Yay!

I recommend Coffee Cup Ftp. It's free, and easy to use.

If you happen to have OS X, Transmit is probably the best FTP client I have ever used.

I use FTP through internet explorer (ftp://domain.com)... it's really easy. You could also use Windows Command Prompt (harder and a bit confusing).

For program, I would recommend SmartFTP.
