Although all of the clients took the same amount of time to download a single large file, about two minutes per file, WS FTP could download or upload multiple files in a minute, roughly half the time of its competitors, CuteFTP and FTP Voyager. WS FTP stood out as the fastest FTP client we tested. It requires you to hand-code commands using a scripting language. Unfortunately, the software's scripting feature, which lets you create macros to perform complex functions, is extremely difficult to use. You can even use the program's scheduling tool to automate this synchronization process or perform automatic backups on a remote PC. The directory-synchronization feature, the WS FTP Synchronize Utility that's accessed through the Tools menu, lets you automatically sync your PC directory with the FTP server or vice versa. WS FTP 7.5 also supports 128-bit SSL encryption for secure connections and the ability to resume disconnected file transfers-handy if, say, your ISP disconnects you in middownload. The program itself comes preloaded with dozens of interesting anonymous FTP sites. The Assistance Center, accessed via a button on the remote-host dialog box, offers step-by-step, illustrated help and includes a wizard that guides you through the process of entering an FTP site.
With version 7.5, WS FTP Pro introduces an array of features for novices. Help for first-time users tools for advanced users
