Portable i.Ftp

Portable i.Ftp is a lightweight FTP client that helps you send and receive files using straightforward actions. It offers support for FTP, SFTP and HTTP connections.

You can bypass the installation process and run the tool directly on your system. Portability comes with some advantages to your system. The utility doesn’t store entries in your Windows registry and can be run without administrative privileges. You may copy it on any USB flash drive or other portable devices and take it with you.

You are welcomed by an intuitive layout that is divided into two panels so you can easily master the file transfer process. One panel is responsible for displaying the files stored in your computer while the other shows the items uploaded on the server.

The tool lets you browse throughout the content of your folders and view additional information about them, such as name, file type and size. You may transfer files using the drag-and-drop support, connect or disconnect to/from the current server, perform searches, as well as show hidden files.

Portable i.Ftp gives you the possibility to configure a new connection by providing details about the host address, port number, user ID and password. Plus, you can specify the initial remote and local directories, enable anonymous logins, use active transfers only, enable SFTP connections, and tweak proxy parameters.

Compared to other FTP clients, Portable i.Ftp does not overwhelm you with an abundance of configuration settings. It actually keeps things simple and lets you confirm deletions, resize lists after a refresh, and automatically transfer user-defined file types (e.g. HTML, PHP, TXT) as ASCII.

What’s more, you can make the tool automatically transfer file types as binary, define mouse actions (open or transfer the file upon double-click), and log data.

When it comes to file management options, Portable i.Ftp offers you the freedom to create a new folder, delete or rename the selected files, change file attributes (read-only, archive, hidden or system), and open a file. You may also schedule downloads by specifying a custom URL, date and time, as well as destination folder.

All things considered, Portable i.Ftp delivers a basic feature pack for helping you work with an intuitive and simple FTP client, and is suitable especially for less experienced users.
