    What's the best FTP software? I don't need anything fancy. Just need something to upload pictures and websites, but I won't be using it very often (a few times a month)

    FlashFXP try that... it's simple to use.

    I found SmartFTP pretty newbie friendly as well...

    Thanks for the suggestions, but I am going to have to use Front Page to upload them.

    Lol, in case Frontpage isn't powerful enough. I vouch for SmartFtp. Its free for non-commerical use.
    I used to use cutftp, flashfxp, and ws_ftp, but they got annoying, and hard to use.

    Yeah, I was able to get the flashfxp to work and love it, but unfortunately because of the complexity of my site which I didn't realize, I can't use FTP.

    Try FTP Surfer, VERY EASY to use and it's free. Only 1 window, with drag and drop feature. I use it with clients all the time (some clients dont even know how to email- that's how easy it is). I'm in the Print Industry, sometimes we get gig's of stuff without a hitch. Right click to make a folder, just like working in Windows. Check it out.
