A quick poll:
What FTP app do you use?
I currently use CuteFTP 4.25, which is nice, and I’ve been using Cute seemingly forever, but I’m becoming increasingly annoyed at a piece of missing functionality. I want an ‘overwrite if newer’ option when uploading a site. In Cute, I can set a global ‘overwrite’ or a global ‘skip’ when uploading. But if I’ve changed 5 files in 5 different directories, I’d like to just select all, upload from the root and have my FTP app figure out which files I mean to upload.
Now I guess there’s some potential issues with servers being in different timezones, but surely, there could be something Dreamweaver-esque, some file on the server that keeps track of this for me, related to my local time (and I don’t use Dreamweaver’s FTP because it seems so damnedly buggy (although I’ve not tried DreamweaverMX’s — I’m still resisting the move to MX, as it’s not as good as my trusty CF Studio yet for my purposes).
I, like you, use CuteFTP on the PC, and I’ve always liked it well enough (though I haven’t been able to find a place where i can set um … that setting we need to send files to our blogs – secureserver? or what is it , you-know). On the Mac I use Transmit, and I quite like it. It is soo super simple (at first i thought it was too simple, then i found a bunch of controls).
That’s my survey answer, but sorry, can’t provide helpful advice.

I use gFTP or just simple ftp on the console in linux, which ever is easiest at the time. Nothing spectacular about either, and really I wouldn’t mind something that could do more to remember where to send stuff, etc…
