I ask because i have been using Aceftp pro 3.7 but for some reson it dont like me giving it big upload lists, wich is doing my head in as i go out to come back with aceftp crashed and not uploaded every thing, and then i get lost as i dont know where it got to wich is wasting my time .

so pleas can some one recomend a good ftp program that you use that can do big lists.

I'd recommand Smart FTP at www.smartftp.com, it's a pretty nice program, I haven't had any problem since I start to use it last year.

i've used Smart + Cute. both have been good, but i'd go with Smart as it's free, and i've never had a problem using it.

I think the best is FTP voyager, works great for big and small files/folders and what ever else.

I was using smartFTP for awhile and then switched a few months back to Filezilla and have been very happy with it.

The html editor I use also includes FTP functionality and I'll use that for uploading or downloading a few files and Filezilla for the heavy lifting.

I've used AceFTP, SmartFTP, and CuteFTP. I tend to prefer Ace the most just because I like the idea of storing commonly used site profiles (and I have a LOT).

Maybe uninstalling and reinstalling it might help.
I remember my girlfriend was having trouble with it at one point but after reinstalling it and reregistering it I don't think she has had any trouble. Of course we also don't do huge transfers often so maybe that's part of it too.

Ipswitch or smartftp... smart ftp has a tendancy to stop uploading sometimes though.
