FastFiles

File transfer operations got greatly enhanced and perfected by the evolution of the Internet. For instance, it’s now possible to host a server to provide access at all times to files of interest through authentication to also prevent theft. Needless to say that you need a reliable FTP client, and FastFiles is one you can count on.

Since there’s no setup involved, you can check out the set of features just as the download process is done. This allows it to be used as a means to access FTP servers directly from a thumb drive, regardless of the computer you’re working on. However, it relies on .NET Framework to function, so you need to make sure it’s installed.

Before any of its features can be put to good use, you first need to punch in the right credentials to establish connection to the FTP server of choice. This is easily done by filling in the username, password, and address fields, after which a new window shows up with the list of files you can access.

Content of the FTP server of choice is displayed in a tree list, thus making navigation a walk in the park. Controls are found in the upper toolbar, and there’s also an address field to jump to different locations. Sadly, the application doesn’t come with a panel to also navigate through the content of your computer, so an Explorer window might also be required.

Downloading files is done at the specified folder, and it’s also possible to upload more, given the right privileges. A refresh operation can be initiated in case content isn’t updated as you please, while disconnecting from the server is done at the press of a button.

To sum it up, FastFiles is a pretty straightforward FTP client, but it’s sure to come in handy for quick file transfer operations. You don’t have to go through a setup process to make it work, while the set of features make it easy for individuals of all levels of experience to quickly get the hang of things.
