Use FTP for faster file sharing with Windows
Authored by: starwxrwx on Feb 10, '04 11:59:11PM

i always liked cuteftp, but i havent used windoze for a while so it might not be free anymore. ws_ftp is good too, but none can rival ncftp! (its half the reason i bought a mac laptop.... except for moving lots of files into a new directory :( )

anyway, i've found using ftp from my pc(linux) to mac stuffs up when i start my ftp server but have the firewall running (even with ftp enabled in the firewall) and sometimes it just stuffs up regardless of firewall or no.

so i just use sftp because i've never had any problems with it at all. you only have to turn on "remote login" on your mac and you're away. I know the application "putty" for doze isn't too bad, although i think its command line only (which i prefer but each to their own...)
