Max-FTP

Sharing files over the web is a pretty common thing nowadays, with dedicated methods for enhanced speed and secure connections. For instance, you might need to access a particular FTP server to grab or upload files and this operation can be easily performed with specialized applications like Max-FTP.

It doesn’t take a lot of time to get the application installed on your computer. An active Internet connection is not necessarily required for this step, but you do need to keep it on when establishing connection. What’s more, there are a couple more components deployed alongside the main tool with which to set up scripts, and create backup sessions.

The sharing component is pretty intuitive by design. There’s a dual-pane explorer which makes it easy to connect to the target FTP server by providing appropriate credentials. You can have multiple instances launched for better management. Different details can be brought up in plain sight, including multi-threading, with a variety of options to configure network, file associations, and general connection details.

As mentioned, there are more components to fully enhance file transfer. On the one hand, there’s an IDE which makes it possible to create JavaScript, or Visual Basic script files. Syntax highlighting makes it easy to keep track of your code, and there’s also a debugger and run tool to test the operation. Scripts can then be loaded in the transfer component.

On the other hand, there’s a set of tools to use in order to create a backup of all operations. All other components need to be closed for this to function, with the possibility to back up public settings, file associations, favorites folder, projects, graphics, active apps, session drives, and more. Needless to say that these values can easily be restored later on.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Max-FTP comes with an impressive set of tools for comfortable, yet complex FTP file transfer operations. You can connect to more servers at a time, and even create automated scripts to get the job done for you. Details and settings can be backed up, making this application definitely worth your while.
