Guide Review - WS_FTP Pro 6.0
WS_FTP has an "Explorer" interface that makes the FTP sites appear to just be more computers in your Windows Explorer. This way I can build my Web site and edit it, but the files don't have to live on my local machine. I often forget that I'm working on a remote site. The ease of use and seamless integration into the Windows environment makes WS_FTP perfect for beginners who are used to Windows but don't want to have to learn a new program interface.
