FTP clients have been around for a while, so it's pretty easy to get one, but finding the right software that has the feature pack to suit your needs can be not so straightforward.
A tool like FlashFXP, though, is designed to be used by anyone because it comes with many features that are not too hard to work with. The interface doesn't seem to be much different from other FTP clients and there are a lot of goodies hidden under the hood.
FlashFXP supports multiple transfer types, be them PC to Server, Server to PC or FTP server to FTP server sessions, but, at the same time, it can also schedule tasks for managing transfers, even if the user is not in front of the monitor.
Connecting to a remote server can be done in a matter of seconds with the 'Quick Connect' feature. However, during our tests the only way we could establish multiple simultaneous connections was to open several instances of the application.
FlashFXP offers an impressive list of options that can be tweaked so you can set rules for file transfers, filter file extensions, create priority or skip lists, manage sites and detailed information regarding each of them.
The software also comes with a set of handy tools like a text editor to open files straight from the server without downloading them. With FlashFXP you can compare folder content, schedule tasks, backup and import configuration settings and much more.
Overall, the strong feature pack and the highly customizable settings that can be configured with minimal effort make FlashFXP one of the top choices in its category.

What's New in This Release:
· Fixed an issue where some commands sent to the server enforced a 60 second wait timeout, when triggered the connection to the server was automatically closed. While most commands enforce a wait time limit some commands naturally take longer than others and this has lead to some undesired results. I have modified the code to exclude certain commands from the enforced timeout.
· Fixed caption/option swap in the Preferences dialog > General > Actions. The "Remote file listing" and "URL Clipboard monitor" were swapped.
· X3, Our graphic designer has independently released several new toolbar button sets for FlashFXP
· Installing toolbar themes has never been easier simply click the download link for the filename.ffxptheme and opening it with FlashFXP. I am a huge fan of the Vacca VI toolbar set.
· When using the live update feature to download program updates the "run update" button is now disabled on click to prevent multiple instances of the update installer.
· Fixed crash when importing invalid...
