    All new versions are not free anymore. It's simply a demo version of the shareware version.

    Terrible, terrible, terrible GUI. Barely usable

    I mean, FileZilla can do the same things, got the same ugly GUI, but unlike SmartFTP FZ is free. So why pay for something that you can have for free?

    This posting is way out of date, since version 3.0 is out now. That's what I just ran a trial of--very briefly.

    A room full of drunk, retarded monkeys couldn't come up with a buggier mess than SmartFTP. It took me about 3 minutes to find annoying, reproducible bugs.

    The only people who seem to do QA are freeware developers. Unfortunately, they're also the ones who are least interested and/or able to add features and documentation to their programs--perhaps because they're busy doing QA (which, I fully acknowledge, must come first).

    As a nice little bonus, SmartFTP leaves a slew of CLSID keys and other crap in the registry and on the file system after it has been [COUGH] "uninstalled".

    There's no excuse for commercial software to be this pathetic. I work for a software vendor--no I won't say who--but they'd NEVER release crap like this.

    Didn't SmartFTP use to be completely free? and does it still nag you constantly that the build your running was compiled along time ago based off your calender date and that there is probably an update, making a very annoying nag system for closed networks... Try FileZilla people.
