A good and free FTP client is hard to come by these days. You can have some of the features some of the time, but not all of the features all of the time. It is hard to find one that has everything you need, and yet does not feel bloated. Well, I think I might have found that lost jewel of the FTP client world with Core FTP Lite.

Need more information? Here is how the folks over at Core FTP Lite describe it:

Now you can download Core FTP LE – free Windows software that includes the client FTP features you need. Features like SFTP (SSH), SSL, TLS, IDN, browser integration, site to site transfers, FTP transfer resume, drag and drop support, file viewing and editing, firewall support, custom commands, FTP URL parsing, command line transfers, filters, and much, much more!

This free, secure FTP client gives you a fast, easy, reliable way to update and maintain your Web site via FTP. It also provides a secure method (via SSL, TLS, or SFTP) to upload / download files to and from FTP servers. Check out the list of features and you’ll find almost every feature you need, all in a free ftp program. There are no popup ads, advertising or spyware and you’re never asked or reminded to register.

I have been using this for a few days now, and I have to say I like what I see. The best part about it is you can drag files in and out of the client just like they were on your computer. Want to upload something? All you need to do is drag it in. Want to download something? All you do is drag it out.
