    This is by far the best ftp client around. It has been there for ages, no other ftp client can touch this - well worth the price.

    Ditto all that... this app has gone the path of Nero, Windows, Norton, etc. B.L.O.A.T.W.A.R.E.

    IMHO, the last good version was v8.03

    Save your $55 for something more worthwhile. I stopped using this, beginning after version 5.x. It started behaving buggy for me in later versions. What I used to consider the best FTP client, is now the worst IMHO!

    Since version 5.x, WS_FTP Pro's reliability has long given way to its needless complexity (and ridiculous cost, even to upgrade each year). This is the worst of the "kitchen sink" approaches to software coding. Find an alternative.
