As a matter of fact, among the Top 10 Best FTP Clients, the free, open-source and cross-platform FileZilla has always been the 1#. SmartFTP can only rank behind the average position, and its real rival is FlashFXP - a very popular FTP client many years ago.

As an FTP client, SmartFTP uses an operation interface similar to Windows File Explorer. It supports many practical functions, including: multiple sites in single window, drag & drop mouse operation, all kinds of context menu functions, fast multi-threaded upload/download, built-in skins, etc.

I personally think that, SmartFTP has completely moved ahead of FlahFXP in functions! Here, AppNee only emphasizes its several key features as follows:

  • HTTP URL mapping. For webmasters, this is very convenient. It allows you to direct copy the file path in FTP protocol, then SmartFTP will convert it into HTTP path via its URL mapping feature
  • SmartFTP supports validating/comparing the files integrity between local and remote machines
  • Allows to use FTP Search to locate files fast and easily
