santaklawzReviewing 1.07 (Apr 12, 2005)
Hi!
Mr cricri_pingouin is quite right, as soon as you launch ultrafxp 1.07 it tries to contact a specific ip which belongs to or used to belong to www.ultrafxp.com, now after running some network diags on it I figured out it was sending a request for version.txt on a website that no longer exists, so it's clearly checking for updates...Now, since it seems to me that this program will never be upgraded (since it's been sold to another company and now goes by the name of FTPrush, looks like a superb product to me but it costs money)....also, if you look under options/general there is an option to toggle this check for new versions, once you turn it off it no longer tries to connect anywhere..
So, in summary this program seems a lot safer to use than flashfxp and seems to work just as well..
word of warning, I would never use a program like flashfxp which has been shown to send out encrypted packets of information containing god-knows-what about you...also for regular ftp clients I use bulletproof ftp and it's a superb program although nowadays you can get smartftp, filezilla, and ultrafxp for free if you're a personal user so it seems harder and harder to sell this type of stuff...
I had one major issue with this s/w, it would not connect properly to ssl encrypted ftpds, smartftp works fine on that but this one chokes so I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5....really should be a 3.5 for having broken ssl stuff..but there's no choice for 3.5 here.. -

Hello people!
I tried UltraFXP because since v1.07 it is free, and sounds like a great alternative to FlashFXP. I was not heading towards UFXP because it's free, but rather to avoid DeWeese abusing policies concerning unexplained packets/phoning home "features".
Unfortunately, first time I tried UFXP, ZoneAlarm warned me that it was trying to connect somewhere just as the program was launched, so before I even had the opportunity to genuinely ask it to indeed connect somewhere!
Now I might sound paranoid, but after posting a couple posts on this matter on the UFXP forum... well, I didn't get a chance to have answers since my posts got deleted!
Thus, I believe there is something very fishy going on, and I would appreciate feedback from any other users around. It's really weird because the address ZoneAlarm refers to is a local address at my uni (even though I never came across this IP before), but at the same time, why would people delete my posts on UFXP forums if there is a valid answer and nothing to worry about?
I'm puzzled and will gladly receive any feedback/comments/suggestions from you people.
Cheers :) -

The author is now offering UltraFXP v1.07 as freeware. An explanation on author's website.

- great support with a growing community
- native and intuitive multithreading
- script (allow easy ftp refresh)
- integration to mirc
- fast and reliable
- sfv function integrated
- FXP, TLS/SSL connection
Simply amazing -

UltraFXP is a FXP Ftp tool simular to FlashFXP and a good alternative (even if only 5 bucks cheaper).
I give a rating of 5 because it r00x.
For all those that mention SmartFTP and FileZilla. Those are not for FXP but for FTP. SmartFTP is able to FXP but very uncomfortable. You cannot compare this to UltraFXP.
I'm not able to DL the new version yet (www.ultrafxp.com down) but 0.9941 was quite impressive and may in future outranges FlashFXP.
Some missing features in beta (0.9941) like "Queue -> mark as failed" and some bugs in Filter manager deleting entries and bogous MultipleIP function in server manager. Missing (at last I didn't find it) APPEND rollback (if transfered part is broken at the end, can't find this anymore in FlashFXP 2.x too)
All in all it is quite the same as FlashFXP but still some options missing ... FlashFXP could include the CONTAINER functionality and would stay #1 in my eyes. Otherwise UltraFXP will soon be better than FlashFXP. -

Hmm, it's ok. Doesn't beat SmartFTP (www.smartftp.com) though - which is free.
(Ah, I see the trolls are back. "Admin!") -

This is a pretty good ftp client. Right now, I prefer smart ftp, but ultra fxp is gaining ground.
I think Dirk van Hoofen's translator is broken. -

Always with the peace! You can leave unqualified remarks at home! I have detect, that a lot fishes in the ocean. I cannot force a program, if I can use a toll with the same functions and characteristics as UltraFXP.
Use FlashFXP or WZ-FTP (german product!). It is donationware - but free for students. Why you don't accept the truth?? UltraFXP was to expensive for that, what it can do. Other authors show us, that it also more favorably goes, on voluntarily basis. - And, please leave impudent comments at home! -

Solid program, as mentioned earlier, it's very similar to flashfxp (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

Filezilla and this combat the total and complete evil that is FlashFXP, the software that reports to the FBI or your local government every site you store in your site manager. Live free or die!

I use the freeware FileZilla. I'am a student and the actually price for UltraFXP was to expensive for me. FileZilla was free and equally to UltraFXP.

This program will be one of the best FTP programs soon. The author is working on new features all the time to make it better. Worth a try anyway....

Filezilla is opensource and complete free. You can make payments for filezilla. $22 for a simple FTP-PROG (and BETA), too many for some people (not pupil only).
I've TC registered around 9 years. TC have a FTP-PROG include. Or SMARTFTP, for private people freebie.
Every day comes a new version. Very bad. -

Reasonably good FlashFXP replacement! I recommend it

This program is great. MxxCon (notice Con in the name, like Con-man) and other zealot trolls from the Nazi-spyware camp of FlashFXP will come here and try to debunk this wonderful program. Resist. They have everything to lose by this excellent competition unburdened by mystery code and spyware and undocumented packets and big brother stuff. UltraFXP is wonderful! Fast install using NSIS, similar interface to FlashFXP. You know, its great that these people can take the decent ideas from FlashFXP and implement it in a non-totalitarian way. UltraFXP is worth a try!

Finally! An alternative to the tyranny and spying of Charles DeWeese and FlashDeathFXP! The word on the grapevine is that programs that are commonly used to move software are being bugged magic lantern style by the Federal Gestapo, with FlashFXP's culled data being used as evidence against several people recently in Federal Court! Beware, you may be inviting the vampire in with FLASHFXP and any of Charles DeWeese's software!
Long live the alternative ;p -
