I used to having FlashFXP as my default FTP client. It’s fast (so I thought), easy to use and I feel comfortable using it because I know some keyboard shourtcuts.
Even in my workplace where FileZilla was the default FTP client that everyone used, I insisted on bringing my disk-on-key with a portable version of FlashFXP.
When you start using a particular FTP client it’s very hard to say goodbye. You already have all the usernames,passwords and hosts laying there ordered just as you like it. You don’t even think about moving the whole list to another client one by one. Another thing that keeps you from changing your FTP client is that FTP access is very sensitive and you don’t want to transfer/rename/delete files by accident. Deleting or overwriting a certain file that has no backup can cost you a lot of valuable time.
So why did I change my client software? There were two major differences between FileZilla and FlashFXP that convinced me to switch.
- The speed, oh the speed. With FlashFXP you can’t transfer two files at the same time while using FileZilla you can transfer up to 10(!) files simultaneously. This improves the transfer time of say… a WordPress install in hundreds of percents.
- Simultaneous file editing.When using FlashFXP to edit files you can only edit one file at a certain time. While editing that file you can do nothing until you commit the file and after committing the file, if you wish to continue editing it you need to close your text editor and reopen the file. Luckily FileZilla improves the file editing experience and brings it into a new level. In FileZilla you can edit as many files as you want at the same time, you can do whatever you want while editing (Such as browsing folders, refreshing the file list,committing other files and so on…) and you don’t have to close and reopen the file each time you make a change.
This was my experience using FTP clients, as for the FTP accounts list, I just add them one by one each time I need to log in to a certain website.
Yes… I’m a Family Guy fan. This show is just so hilarious, I think it’s the funniest comedy I ever watched. Well… Seinfeld & Family Guy are at the first place, each one is the best at his own comedy category.
Anyways here is the last family guy episode, you can watch all of the episodes online at Watch Family Guy Online dot Org. At my opinion, the best season is season four, it’s just non-stop laughing.
The competition for family guy is like The Simpsons and South Park. Actually, I’m thinking of removing The Simpsons from the competitors list because frankly… It’s just not funny :(. But on the other hand, South Park is very good. By the way I have watched all of Seinfeld,South Park and Family Guy episodes. Yup, each and every one of them, I didn’t miss even one. Just name a scene and I’ll continue it :). Back to the Family Guy vs. The Simpsons, I think that the winner is indeed Family Guy.
What you all think about Family Guy?
