Sure it has, it’s called “ftp” *gasp* Just start a command line window (Win-R cmd.exe RETURN), and enter ftp RETURN.

You can use the windows explorer, almost in XP. I use it a lot; its has no options, but it is enough for the basic operations.

Another alternative would be to install a web-based FTP client on your server. I can’t think of anything in partuclar now but am sure there are plenty of free ones.

Yes, JFileUpload another applet that supports both FTP and HTTP upload. It comes with a few add-ons. Among these you have JDiskExplorer which is designed as a regular FTP client. It includes a local and remote panel plus upload and download buttons. It just requires JRE 1.4 (or higher) installed on desktop to work. It has been successfully tested under Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera.

The downside to using these services is that after you complete the FTP transaction, yeehaw — they have the FTP credentials to your site. From there, they can do anything they want to your site (until you change the password).

I do believe that I’ll pass on using these online FTP clients, thank you very much!

Um, I’m like 99% sure PuTTY doesn’t require installation and can do FTP. Also, does Windows seriously not have a built-in FTP client? Even in the command line?

Good find – stumbled.

Alternatively, if you are on Windows, you can use ol’ IE or Explorer to access FTP. It works like a charm, though you’d not get a few management options that other FTP apps have.

This will definitely come in handy when you are on the road. of course, I’d have to also forget my usb drive with my portable Filezilla. But, not everyone carries a digital swiss army knife around!

I’ve recently started using the FireFTP Firefox extension and, to be honest, am starting to question whether I’ll ever need to use a desktop client ever again!
