#Filezilla vs cyberduck vs fetch download#

We are not whining because we are lazy or stupid, we are asking the development team to consider making their hammer capable of hitting all nails we logically expect, not the the round headed ones, or possibly letting users know that their hammer is only compatible with ~70% of servers out there (I would be happy with a notification saying 'This server does not properly support the FTP standard and your download will possibly be corrupt.') Yet its no longer the best tool for the job because you can't know if its going to work (as you said, you don't always know what bridge you're driving over, you just expect it to work) FileZilla typically is a great FTP client with a lot of promise, and its open source!!. In reality, some of us are employees or contractors that are forced to conform to the existing environment and simply want the best tools to accomplish that. You incorrectly assume that I/we have control over the server software, and are whining because we do not want to bother.

Otherwise, FileZilla may be enhanced a little bit.īTW: Did FileZilla team test the 'resume' functionality in IIS 6.0? Is it still the root cause that preventing FileZilla from working properly with IIS?Ĭ) get a car(client) that is capable of crossing that and all other bridges (hey, others have done it even with the FTP spec not providing for server software identification) If CoffeCup violate the standards in order to support IIS, I agree that FileZilla does not choose the same way. You're pround of it.įrom my point of view, although I know FileZilla is free, but it is a tool for the users to use, not a laboratorial tool specially designed for the ftp protocol verification.Ģ) I won't question this point any more, but the end users will appreciate if FileZilla can be more prowerful.ģ) The answer ('not all clients do things the same way.') is not compellent to me. But I am quite sure FileZilla does not burn the gas :).įrom the end user's point of view, FileZilla can not support the ftp server in use daily, but other ftp tools can.įrom your point of view, FileZilla follows the standards very strictly. 1) I know NO two thing are exactly same in the world.
