SmartFTP
SmartFTP provides Windows file transfers over FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV, cloud storage services, and terminal connections.
About SmartFTP
SmartFTP is a Windows client for transferring files between a local computer and remote servers or cloud storage. It supports FTP, FTPS, SFTP and WebDAV, connects to services such as Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Google Drive, Google Cloud Storage and OneDrive, and includes SSH and terminal sessions. Transfers can be run manually or set up as automated managed processes, and local and remote files can be backed up or synchronized. The homepage does not state pricing, and the software is proprietary rather than open source. Because transfers can involve third-party cloud accounts and servers, data handling also depends on those external services.
