sheryltoo Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I used to use Filezilla to upload my files to my site. I haven't had to use it in a long time because I do most of my work and uploading in Dreamweaver. I needed to use it yesterday but had to do a new download. After downloading it, first it didn't work and more importantly, it installed malware. I have since removed it and ran some malware software that got rid of 714 items all related to the software that installed when I installed Filezilla. Can someone recommend a good ftp program, preferably one that's free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 For the few moments I need to upload anything I use the extension fireftp. Great extension if you use Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryltoo Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 I don't use Firefox but if there's no other choices, I can look into it. Thanks for your suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 See if there are any ftp plugins/extensions for whatever browser you use. If there are, maybe you don´t need a separate ftp program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Like Thomas, I use the Firefox plugin but if you want a good free FTP client check out WS_FTP LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryltoo Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks. I actually downloaded one called winscp and it seemed to work ok. It was free and didn't look as if it loaded any spyware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 A few recent problems with Filezilla are discussed by TCH-Dick and a member here. I see that WinSCP are also mentioned in that thread as a good alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryltoo Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks for that link. Now I'm a little worried that some of my passwords could have been compromised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Just to be sure, you can always submit a ticket with the help desk and ask them if they have noticed any problems. Link in my signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
