WS_FTP Professional

The FTP protocol is the most used method of transferring files to and from the Internet and sharing all kinds of files with anyone. But in order to benefit from all the features offered by FTP, you will need to have a FTP client installed first. Unfortunately, you cannot count on Windows in this situation, as the FTP client included inside the operating system is command-line based and lacks a lot of features, being very difficult to use for most computer users.

Fortunately, there are alternative FTP clients which offer graphical interfaces and are intuitive to use. WS_FTP Professional is one of these applications. This simple Windows program allows you to access any FTP website and perform any file operation, in the easiest way possible.

After installing the application, the user will first need to generate a trial license from the program's website. This may be annoying for some users, as they may lose time by activating the application. After activating the application, the user will be able to connect to a FTP server just by entering some details, like the username, password and server address. After connecting, one will be able to perform file operations just by dragging the desired file or folder from the left panel to the right one, as the interface of WS_FTP Professional includes two file panels, resembling the interface of a regular file manager.

What's more, there is also a site manager available, for storing complete details regarding any FTP server and connecting to it using a single mouse click. By accessing the classical menu, the user will notice the backup and synchronization features, which allow him to back up all his files automatically to any FTP server, for keeping his data safe. By accessing the options section, the user can configure the program's appearance, but can also customize its functionality, as there are numerous features for modifying the way WS_FTP Professional works.
