That depends. FTP is ok for things like downloading software archives
And BTW, what's wrong with the FTP client
provided with Win9x? Sure, it's
command-line only, but IMHO beats paying for a GUI version . . .
Hahahahaha :)
Seriously though, there are freeware versions that can be readily
downloaded that are 1000 times better. But for my purposes, I like
VanDyke's Secure FX because I don't use any open-text (i.e. unencrypted)
protocols any longer for remote access. from public ftp servers - no password to steal. For any
file transfer
where the authentication is better kept secret, scp is the tool of
choice for me.
