CuteFTP for Windows

User Reviews

• Doesn't work with modern security protocols

  dtx-user3/23/2017

  Pros

  Have (had!) used this product for years and like its interface

  Cons

  Out of date. Current version is over 3 years old and no longer works with modern security protocols, so I couldn't log in to my web site using secure FTP. Support expects you pay $30 a year in order to respond to your query even before you've bought it.

  Summary

  Do not buy this product. It is out of date and there are many and better freeware alternatives.

• Beware-Changed my browser settings without my OK

  tonyjlopez1/22/2016

  Pros

  None I can think of considering the cons.

  Cons

  Predatory Malware

  Summary

  Beware when uploading their "free trial". While installing it asked if I want to change my home page to yahoo.com. I said no. One of my pet peeves is automatic check off uploads (such as Google Chrome for Adobe) and I ALWAYS watch for them, and ALWAYS decline them. I did this time. It changed my home page to Yahoo anyway!!! If their software is designed to be predatory malware on computers and change a home page to Yahoo regardless of the users declining the change -just so they can make a few cents per upload - then what other aspects of this program are messing with your ownership of your computer?

• Always Been Good

  corpcon9/27/2012

  Pros

  It does what it is supposed to do and it does it well. A very clean, uncluttered UI.

  Cons

  No support for back and forward mouse buttons, which is frustrating because I'm always instinctively wanting to use them for moving back and fourth through sub folders.

  Summary

  Don't believe the weird negative comments. I've been using CuteFTP since the late 90's. It has never been free. And why should it be? Developers gotta eat!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 27, 2012<p/>Sorry... Just realized this was the "Home" version. I was referencing the "Pro" version. Not sure how to delete this.

• A good FTP Client

  DrJansan11/9/2011

  Pros

  Does exactly what I want it to do.

  Cons

  As far as I can remember, this used to be freeware, Now, suddenly, it is only free to try (30 days) There too many other products which are free to warrant paying almost $45.00 for this. As soon as the trial period has finished I'll be downloading Filezilla

  Summary

  A very Good product. But not worth the asking price.

• HATE THE DOWNLOADER!

  Antares0768/29/2011

  Pros

  SAFE? YOU ARE MAKING US DOWNLOAD SOMETHING WE DO NOT WANT!

  Cons

  HATE THE DOWNLOADER&#38;#176; DONT WANT IT

  Summary

  REMOVE THAT CRAP ! SOME ONE WANTS IT SOME ONES DONT! Respect free will... you just cant impose it.

• HORRIBLE... Not what it used to be.

  amc25107/8/2011

  Pros

  Only Pro is it will let you use FTP for a few days free of charge.

  Cons

  After a few days it claims your 30 day trial is up and you need to pay for it! Very cheeky considering this product used to be free and was a pretty decent FTP, there is NO WAY you should pay for FTP in this day and age. RIP OFF.

  Summary

  AVOID like the plague, look for alternative FREE FTP softwares that do the same thing without trying to rip you off.
