Amazon.com Product Description

Trellian FTP is a file transfer client that allows you to transfer files between your PC and any FTP server on the Internet. It comes complete with a list of the most popular FTP sites so you can access drivers, shareware, and other software via the Internet. Trellian FTP provides advanced features such as drag-and-drop file transfer, multi-site download, and Connection Hammer.

Trellian FTP allows you to quickly and easily upload your Web site to the Internet. The Compare feature lets you see at a glance which files have been updated or are missing and Trellian FTP will upload them with the click of a button. Trellian FTP also stores your Web host's profile to make future uploads a breeze. Trellian FTP combines functionality with ease-of-use. It has an intuitive interface so that uploading your Web site, transferring files, and downloading data from Web servers becomes simple and easy.

Trellian FTP also allows you to connect to multiple servers at once, so while downloading the latest version of eComm PRO, for example, you can get the latest patch for your operating system from a completely different site. And Trellian FTP has a feature that allows you to hammer the connection with the server until you get through. There are also handy extras, such as the interactive help feature and the Résumé Download feature that lets you continue your downloads where they left off, saving you from having to start your interrupted downloads again from scratch.

The "Manual" of 28 pages must be printed from the web site-not the CD and is an exercise in futility since nothing applies to the program on the CD. Error codes e.g. 530 stop all action but there is no way to determine what the error is. The company web site is in Australia and totally impregnable except to purchase more of their sorry wares. It was totally useless in uploading my web site to GoDaddy. I'll try to get a refund...

5.0 out of 5 stars Full-featured and simple to use, May 5, 2002

This review is from: Trellian FTP (CD-ROM)

This is one of the easiest ftp programs I've used and it has some surprising features that put it in the same league with more expensive programs. For example, you can edit a text file right off a remote server, set UNIX file permissions and perform remote file maintenance if you have authorization to do so on the remote server. These are advanced features that one doesn't expect in an entry-level ftp program.

What makes it easy to use is the fact that the user interface is similar to Windows explorer, with all of the same functions, including drag and drop. However, what sets this ftp program apart from any that I've used is its ability to connect to multiple remote servers simultaneously. That puts it in a class in itself.

I've used a number of ftp programs and this one has become my personal favorite and the one I recommend. It will not overwhelm inexperienced users with a bewildering array of options, yet does everything power users need.

There are many FTP softwares out there and that is why you should most likely keep searching. This software does not run on updated OP/SYS. It does not say that until after you have it installed. Secondly, it has bugs in its update and replace areas, i.e. it doesn't do it well. Over half failed and required multiple name changes and file saves. Also, the only 'help' or 'manual' they offer is a link to an international site where you can type in an email and wait within a week for an answer. This is exactly the opposite that somene who is looking for speed in File Transferring wants. KEEP SEARCHING for $5 bucks more you'll be glad you did.
