Steed

While they do not carry file size limitations and can resume the transfer if the connection is lost, one of the pestering issues associated with FTP clients comes from the fact that sometimes the servers can be spoofed and hence, you can end up sending data to the wrong computer. Not to mention that filtering FTP connections on your computer can be a tedious and time-consuming task.

Steed is a piece of software that enables you to establish multiple FTP and SFTP connections that you can access anytime you want to upload or transfer files to a web server.

Intuitive interface and straightforward functionality

The program comes with a user-friendly UI that is very unlikely to cause issues or confusions regardless of whether you are a first-time or advanced user. The interface consists of a summary pane that allows you to quickly create a new connection or access the ones you already configured.

As you probably hinted, the larger panel on the right is dedicated for setting up the FTP or SFTP connection. You should know that the process is a simple matter of entering the details of the server, port number and your credentials. Moreover, you can test the connection and, if you are using the server on a daily basis, then you could just as well add it favorites for extra convenience.

Enables you to organize and bookmark connections

It is worth mentioning that the program allows you to create groups where you can add your favorite connections, a feature that can come in handy when you are trying to organize your links, so that they are always readily available. In addition, the app provides you with a seamless method to keep all your data synchronized and this includes the files you store in cloud services such as Dropbox or OneDrive.

You should know that the utility provides you with an easy connection setup feature, meaning that you can import your configurations from other FTP clients you are currently using. However, if you are not an advanced user, you might as well employ the history to find and use your latest connections.

A versatile tool for anyone commonly using FTP

In case you are using FTP servers to transfer files and data that are larger and hence, cannot be supported by other uploading solutions, then maybe Steed could lend you a hand.
