Need a good and EASY to use FTP program

Xftp 5
Xshell 5 for SSH

Used to use FileZilla without any issues until I discovered the wonderful world of doing things on the server.
 
I've been using Filezilla but will stop due to what I've read in this thread.

I took a look at WinSCP but I think I'd prefer to start using a paid ftp client rather than a free one as I'm finding free stuff always has some kind of a catch, and generally little if any support.

With that in mind, what's the best paid ftp client out there? If it makes a difference, I'm a noob at all this stuff so ease of use is a major consideration.
 
FireZilla worked fine for me up until a couple months ago. Then it just stopped connecting to some of the servers that worked previously with it.
 
Used Filezilla for so long I cant remember then it started acting up so now I use CyberDuck.

Upgrades/installs take less than 5 minutes uploading the .zip and extracting on the server.

Yes, you can extract it via SSH using unzip xen<tab key>.

Pressing the tab key auto completes the file name, saving typing it out.

Brogan, do you simply merge xenforo upload folder after unzipping? Does that keep all existing add-on folders in place?

Fair enough, but I did double check the information I found in this thread and it doesn't seem to be in question; the product is now loaded with adware, and I'd like an FTP client that isn't loaded with adware.

Not really, there was some optional software in the SourceForge installer like 2 years ago and the regular installer was always (and still is) available directly through the website. I just checked on SourceForge and they seem to have the direct download link there as well now.

If I go to install a program, and by default it also tries to get me to install a bunch of other crap as well, I take it as a solid sign that this isn't something I want to be using. I'm a novice. I make a lot of mistakes. The last thing I need right now is to get infected with nasties just because I forgot to uncheck a box which by default installs crap on my computer. Why should I have to uncheck a box just to avoid that kind of stuff anyway? As I said, I take it as a solid sign that I should be looking elsewhere.

FlashFXP is now installed and seems to be working fine, I have no complaints (yet :p).

It's on sale now for $19.47 instead of the regular $29.95 so you got a good deal from them.

Do you like FREE? Get FlashFXP for FREE with TrialPay
How does this work?
Try or buy one offer from your preferred brands and get a personal single user license for FlashFXP-free. TrialPay uses money from the advertiser to pay for your product. It's that easy.

It says $20.97 for me

Still, considering the amount I spent on the the add ons I bought (and the Xenforo licence itself), $20 for a decent ftp seems like a pretty insignificant cost :)

The price will fluctuate as your trial goes on. I think my price dropped down to 14 bucks at one point if I'm not mistaken.
 
You just happened to be on a trial when the offer was pushed, on the customer side of things it is completely random though you can be promised that a few times a year that they will have a well reduced sale price.
