Spotlight: File transfers with WS_FTP Professional

Options

You can easily save a set of connection options for a site. As you can see, there are a large number of options that can be set. This particular option tab is useful, because you can associate a local folder with the site, and WS_FTP will open that local folder when you connect to the site.

Development environment

Find Utility

WS_FTP allows you to search the remote site for files. This is an extremely useful feature that is not found in many FTP clients.

Even more options

This is just one tab of WS_FTP’s options. There is a dizzying array of things which can be set. Luckily, the default configuration works just fine.
