So I recently decided to upgrade my XP installation with Service Packs 2 and 3. Internet Explorer 6 had been my FTP client, but now Windows won't let me save my FTP passwords in IE anymore, telling me I should Web Folders instead, whatever the fuck that is. Since my FTP password is unchangeable (wtf?) and it's a bunch of unrememberable gibberish that was auto-generated for me by my hosting service, IE is no long a viable FTP option for me. Any suggestions?

I've used CoolFTP and FTP Surfer, both with really good results.

I also used FTP Surfer for years without any huge problems.

FileZilla and SmartFTP are also pretty useful. Although both of them have a bad habit of bitching at you when there's a new version out. SmartFTP would just, for some reason, quit working when there was a new version (something about the personal license expiring and you renewed it by updating I dunno), so I switched over to FileZilla. I like FileZilla because its name makes me think of a giant dragon monster ripping files out of office buildings and bringing them to me.

...what was the question again?

I agree with EVERYTHING filezilla related that bluey just said.

I use CuteFTP. Can't compare it to anything else since it's all I've ever used.
