What TurboFTP is
TurboFTP is a Windows application for transferring files with FTP, FTPS, and SFTP. It also provides file synchronization, scheduled transfers, and transfer automation. The product is sold through annual subscriptions, with simultaneous task allowances increasing by plan. TurboFTP Lite costs $49.95 a year and permits one task at a time in the GUI. Professional costs $149 a year for up to five tasks, while Elite costs $278 a year for up to 30. Business costs $699 a year and Corporate costs $1,699 a year; both allow an unlimited number of tasks. A 30-day trial is listed, but there is no free plan. The main distinction among subscriptions is task capacity, so users can match the tier to the number of transfers they need to run concurrently. All plans are billed as one-year subscriptions, and the software is listed only for Windows.
