Terrapin FTP

Simple FTP client with macros

Terrapin FTP can no longer be downloaded. You can look for alternatives in Windows FTP Clients.

Terrapin FTP is designed with comprehensive full functionality in mind. It's also highly suitable for beginners as it features a superb web wizard which takes you thorough those first nervous steps of uploading files to your website by FTP for the first time. With Terrapin FTP transferring files - whether uploading or downloading - it's simply a matter of dragging and dropping. You can even synchronize whole directories in one drag drop operation. The Terrapin Interface gives you a comprehensive view of what's going on at all times and file indicators mean that you can see whether files have changed at a glance.

You can build your own custom commands, reconcile entire directory structures with the click of a button, perform inter-server transfers by a simple drag and drop operation. This is perhaps one of the nicest features - just drag and drop as you would with explorer although it's not that unusual for an FTP server. The most unique feature is that fact that you can use macros to record and save a series of FTP transactions. These can then be re-played in one on-line session as many times and whenever you wish. However in practice this gets quite fiddly and there's not really much call for it anyway.

This is an excellent FTP server for both beginners and advanced users with tons of interesting options to explore.
