FlashFXP allows uploading and downloading files to FTP sites. As any other FTP client, this one can handle any file type. It supports transferring data between a local computer and a remote location as well as between two remote machines. The application has an explorer-like interface with two panels that allow viewing both the target and the source directory simultaneously. Luckily, the tool permits drag-and-drop operations between the two panels. Moreover, it allows working on various sessions at the same time, but I did not like that each session is run in a separate window. In my opinion, showing them as separate tabs would be more convenient.
The program can manage transfer queues without any problems. Likewise, you can use filters to prioritize or block specific file types. Furthermore, it is possible to create and save tasks for later use. In this regard, it is even allowed to schedule these jobs to run at a specific time or with a given frequency. Unfortunately, the program does not have a built-in scheduler, so it uses Windows Task Scheduler instead.
Besides standard FTP, the tool supports various secure file transfer protocols, including SSH and FTPS. There are other features that help you transmit data in a protected way, such as its support of X.509 certificates for user authentication, which are verified through Windows Certificate Store. Likewise, the program safeguards your password using 128-bit encryption.
All in all, FlashFXP is basically not very different from other FTP tools. Yet, it has some extra features, such as a text editor and folder comparison. The product is shareware and you can try it without any restrictions for 30 days.
v5.2 [Sep 4, 2015]
FlashFXP v5.2.0.3890 @ 10/30/2015
Fixed an issue where the temp folder path obtained via the OS was a short path name and this could lead to problems on some systems when downloading files to the temp folder for viewing or editing.
Improved server side cache system. These changes eliminate alot of situations where the directory listing would be fetched from the server after a rename, move, or delete operation.
Fixed A/V crash in cache system that was sometimes triggered after a rename or move operation.
Fixed an issue where the file browser was not matching the server side CWD after a connection loss followed by a reconnect to the server. (when not using the Reconnect: method to reconnect)
Fixed an issue where attempting to download the same file multiple times would fail because the file was still locked. (like when a real-time anti-virus scanner still scanning the file.)

Improved the cache logic of a remote move or rename operation to update the cache accordingly; In addition if the Server File Search dialog is open the results are updated to reflect these changes as well.
Improved indirect site to site transfers. Added additional checking to ensure the file is completely downloaded before uploading, in some rare cases due to server error the download could be complete yet the server indicates the file was sent successfully.
Fixed a couple minor issues with the synchronized browsing feature.
Fixed an access violation crash when the connection is lost during a make directory operation via the SFTP protocol.
Fixed issue with duplicate folders in the navigation tree list after a folder is deleted.
Improved parsing the LIST output of MacOS based FTP servers that use the format defined by "MacOS Peter's Server" but use a custom name in the SYST reply.
