What FTPShell Client is

FTPShell Client is a Windows file transfer program for FTP, FTPS, and SFTP. FTPS connections use SSL/TLS, while SFTP uses SSH. It supports Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11, as well as Windows Server 2003 through 2022. The client can synchronize folders, schedule transfers, and automate file transfers. It also unzips downloads and zips files before upload. A syntax-highlighting editor works with remote or local files, and FXP enables direct transfers between remote servers. The Personal Edition is free for non-commercial use. Pro adds task scheduling, remote file search, folder comparison and synchronization, and server-to-server transfers. Pro licenses are one-time purchases: $59.95, paid once with one year of updates, $79.95, paid once with two years, or $99.95, paid once with three years. Enterprise adds FTP script creation and execution, FTPS and SFTP support for scripts, command-line execution, and scheduled FTP scripts. Enterprise options are $199.95, paid once, $269.95, paid once, and $339.95, paid once for one, two, and three years of updates respectively. A 30-day trial is available.
