Use LE edition, version 4.60.98.03.17

I am using WS-FTP Pp 2006.
BTW, I do not know what "URL" means. Please explain. I don't know if it means the URL of my Web Site, or what. Guess I'm getting too old to be able to understand.

Ted, the URL is the address of your web site, if you have one. For example, the URL of this web site is http://www.ftpplanet.com.

I've been using WS_FTP LE for several years now, and it's served me faithfully. I don't do enough FTP'ing to warrant purchasing an FTP program, and I do too much to use the command line utility provided in Windows. WS_FTP LE works great for me for what I do.

I am using WS_FTP LE version 05.08 2000.02.23 because I can't afford to buy more elaborate products. Anyway, it is about the only FTP I can handle and (more or less) understand !

I am using LE edition, version 4.60.98.03.17 - At one time I purchased a newer version, but lost the SW and the key.

I like the LE as it can be simply copied from one computer to the other with all settings simply as a directory, and not as an installation. This has saved my butt many times!! It also makes it a gem to back up.

I am using WS_FTP LE v6.0. I am a light user and this application does exactly what I want it to!

I use WS-FTP95 LE

I'm a hobby user with a minimal web site.

I'm using LE 6.0. It lets me do simple uploads to my website. Also can issue more complex ftp commands like mget etc.

I'd love to have the fully funtional pro version, but I don't use it enough to justify a pay-for version.

Thanks very much for what you've given us.

I use WS_FTP LE, as the best, but if not available I use Internet Explorer.
At the computer Club, I recommend FTP LE, if they can't find it I tell them to use Internet Explorer.

I still have your LE version on my system (just in case), but I'm using the Core FTP Lite program because it is free. I was very disappointed when you started charging for this service. Sorry bout that! I'm in hopes that you will reinstate, and support your "free" FTP program.

WS_FTP Pro 9.01

I'm using LE 5.08 edition.
Yes, it's an older version,
but it works very well.
Have used your products since
'96 and I thank you very much!

I use WinSCP 3.7.6 - haven't used WS FTP in years. Sorry - I went open source years ago and have never looked back. OpenOffice, GIMP, Firefox, Thunderbird, Ganttproject...

I am using WS_FTP LE 5.08 2000.01.13.
Program is still doing it for me!

I'm using the latest pro version, but, honestly, LE was much more stable, and I'm tempted to go back to it. Maybe the latest upgrade fixed that; haven't done enough ftp'ing to check.

I'm still using WS_FTP LE. I guess this came out before Windows XP came onto the scene. But it works just fine. No problems.

I use LE....Works for me....

I'm still using LE.

using the LE version 5.00.2000.02.23
Don't use it very often, but it works just fine for what I do.

I use WS FTP Pro version 7.62 2002.12.18
and in general it works very well.The only thing that I can't seem to get right is the synchronise-utility to remember my settings,but I think it is due to something I do wrong.Never mind,I just re-enter the url's every time I use this utility.The maintenance of my website is easy to do with WS FTP.I really am a satisfied customer.The only thing I would like to see added is the possibility to change the language to Dutch,especially the help-files.Maybe than I could solve my problem with the sync.utility.:-)

I use ipswitch WS-FTP pro 2006, it awsome

I'm using FTP Pro 2006 Patch 1. (2006.0.1.0-2005.08.19

I use Pro 6.60 2000.09.20 It gets me to the campus machine and that's good enough.

I use WS_FTP95LE on one and WS_FTP LE 5.08 on another computer.

I use Windows Commander, more user friendly.

A hosting service that I used when I first started writing HTML and putting up small homemade websites for my friends recommended LE, because I was working for poor little churches and it was easy and free. I have loved it ever since, and it still works fine. (The webhost also donates the hosting for the churches.)

I am afraid to buy a more complex version for fear I would not know how to use it.

You can see a few of the little churches here:

http://www.love-and-light.org (under construction)

I'm still using WS_FTP95 LE, works for me

I now use the Pro 2006 version (love the 'workspaces' option). I also like the LE 5.08 version for its simplicity, this is what attracted me to this site to begin with...

I am using WS-FTP Home v.9.01

I am a ROCCA (Retired Old Computing Center Administrator) and use FTP LE 5.08.2000.01.13 fairly regularly (backing up files primarily). LE is a great product and I don't have a need to upgrade to Home or Pro ... although I would like to support you guys/gals somehow (I'm afraid to upgrade because "if it ain't broke ... don't fix it")! I would be curious to know if I can delete a non-empty folder in the HOME or PRO versions ... that's the only short-coing I see in LE. If I can do that with, say, HOME I would probably buy it.

Still a very grateful user of Version 5.08.
I keep a couple of pretty basic sites for my local Parish and an Art Group. Your help over the years has been much appreciated.Long may you survive.
Regards
George

Greetings from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.
I'm using LE version 5.08, and very happy with
it.

I'm very disappointed in Ipswitch! You did not report the program that I responded as using. I assumed that honesty would be reflected with this type survey. If you merely made a mistake, please review my earlier response.
Thanks ....Don

I am using WS_FTP LE version 05.08 2000.02.23

WSFTP-Pro v8 for me. I do a lot of ftping which is why I upgraded from LE a while back.

I am using WS_FTP Home 9.02 2004.08.18
and find it really good.

I am still using FTP_LE 6.0 and I like it !

I'm using WS-FTP Home 9.1
Works well
Thanks for asking
Rgds Harry

I'm using WS_FTP LE version 5.08 200.02.23. This is the only version I've used. It does what I want so I have never seen the need to update it.

P.S. I'm running Windows XP SP2

I'm still using WS_FTP95 LE, works for me
Version 5.08

Using LE version 4.60 98.03.17 .... Looks to be an antique compared to others, but it works well.

Thanks for a great product.

I am using WsFTP Pro 7.62.2002.12.18.
It works quit good. WsFT Pro helps very well in the synchronisation of ftp sites thanks to the synchronisation utility, which i use very frequently

Regards
Paul

Im using WS_FTP LE 5.08 2000.01.13

Hello
I'm using WS_FTP LE for Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP
Version 6.0 and because I have not great need for FTP program, it has been enough for me

Greetings from the Netherlands.
I'm using the LE-version 5.08.2000.02.23 and I'm very happy with it

I have been using version 95LE for a few years and find it very satisfactory.

I use WS_FTP LE 6.00
It does the job for me perfect.
I cant se any reason for purchase

I use WS_FTP Home LE, version 5.08. I haven´t had any problems.

I have used LE version since approximately 1993 and I like it just fine. My personal homepage doesn't get worked on very often and I almost forget how to use FTP in between times. I do have some problems because I am a self taught computer user and some things I don't understand how to "fix". The last time I tried to work on my homepage, it said you don't support LE anymore, so now I am stuck. I have been afraid to try something more complicated. Thank you for the time when you made it available for free.

I use WS-FTP95-LE and it works fine for me as I'm not that clever in working with the website.

The present version is WS_FTP Pro2006.2005.05.11.
Before this version I have been using WS_FTP95 LE, WS_FTP LE and an earlier Pro-version. When I had to reinstall that Pro-version on a newer PC I had lost my key and had to return to LE, but last year decided to buy again the then latest Pro-version.
I maintain more than 20 web-pages, some of them have to be updated daily. The latter ones are more or less automatically updated.

As many have said LE has served me faithfully,also,since it first came out.I cant ever remember a problem and as the saying goes " "If its not broke, don't fix it" I am getting on a bit now so do not want to have to re-train my poor brain.

We are a primary school and are using
WS-FTP LE 95 for the uploading of our
school website, and it works for us.

Use WP PRO 7.7 at work and WP HOME at home.

Hi,
I'm using Professional 2006.0.0.1.
Altho I must admit, I haven't had a chance to use it much this year. I've been running back and forth to CT to care for grandchildren. Hopefully, I will get back to it soon as I want to update my pages with new info. Thanks for reminding me. The new version looks exciting but I haven't had a chance to go through the tutorial to see the changes. I used the light version in the early years, then bought the pro, and now upgraded to 2006. Great program. Thanks, again.

I'm using WS_FTP95 LE. As other people have said, it works just fine for me. The only real defect I encounter (and I encounter it just about every time I use it) is that it times out after a short period, so I have to reconnect before I can use it further.

WS-FTP LE because it works very well and I tried the next version and still went back to LE.

I am still using WS-FTP LE Version 6.00 because it works perfectly for my simple purposes. I have been using WS-FTP LE for about five years now. It is the very first ftp client software I have ever used. I have tried a number of ftp client software since then, but I always come back to WS-FTP LE, because it is the most efficient.

I am using WS_FTP LE 5.08.

I'm using WS_FTP Pro 7.62.

Recently I got an offer from
Ipswitch to upgrade, but lacking
any information as to the benefits
of doing so, I'll probably stay
put.

Incidentally, one of the great benefits
of your professional version is the Pro Pack,
neat set of utilities, sort of a webmaster's
Swiss army knife. But, good as it is, Pro Pack
could be really improved in a lot of areas.
For example, look at the tools available at
http://www.dnsstuff.com/.

I'm still using WS_FTP LE 95, v. 5.08 on my county page for genealogy. Still works great on my (mostly) data information. I have downloaded a couple other free programs, but always come back to you, even though it's not supported. I appreciate the program.

ws_ftp le 5.08

I'm using WSFTP Pro 9.0.1 for my genealogical website, primarily for uploading. Works well for what I do.

I am using WS FTP LE and Version 4.6 and have for about 4 years

I use WS_FTP32 version 95.08.26. It has been a solid workhorse.

I am using WS FTP 5.08 2000.01.13.
It works perfect

I have been using FTP_LE 5.08.2000 for several years and I am fully satisfied.
Best regards.

I use ws_ftp pro, the version is 8.03 2003.12.16 the product is easy enough to work with and fits our needs.

WS_FTP LE VERSION 5.08
I began using this as a student taking
a course about the internet and since
your wonderful ftp works so well, I've
just stayed with it. It's too bad that
it is no longer available to starving, or at
least hungry, students.

Still using WS_FTP LE 5.08 2000.02.23. Have been using it for ages.

Great little bit of software!

Updated to the 2006 version and it's great. Very simple and to me stable. (runing under WIN2K PRO.
I love the ability to see my pictures as thumbnails both on my PC and the server,. Very easy to compare.
Updating was a snap and very cheap really. Even in Australia the price of the upgrade was less than a case of beer. So for the ease of use, yes much easier than LE, I would say go for it.
Keep up the good work.

I,am using software ws_ftp professional 2006-2005.05.11.Having with my complete satisfaction in regular works.

Using WS-FTP95LE

Comment: Would like something better

We are using WS_FTP95 LE for the website giving info on our Franciscan Order.

Using FTP PRO 8.02

I'm another one still using WS_FTP LE version 05.08 2000.02.23. Now and again I've looked at other programs but found they were too much pain for next to no gain. WS_FTP LE does exactly what I want it to do, quickly and easily.

The one thing I would like to see is a simple statement of file and folder size, so that I know when I'm approaching the webspace limit imposed by my ISP. (Perhaps there's a tool there now that I've still not discovered?)

I still use WS-FTP 95 - LE version and love it. I tried the others but didn't like them.

I'm using WS_FTP Pro...great features. I need to learn to use more of them!

We use FTP_95Le v5.08 for our school web page. It does everything we need, except it would be nice to be able to delete entire folders or synchronize automatically.

I still use WS_FTP 95LE . Like many others here,
I have very limited need for an FTP program, and
so this older program still serves me very well.

I use WS_FTP LE v5.08 2000.02 23
This meets my requirements for occasional website updates. I had previously used Cute FTP, but found that it hid files on the web server older than a few months so that you lost track and control of what was there. WS_FTP LE solved this problem completely, showing the files as thay are, regardless of file date.

I use LE. It's easy and no frills and doesn't take a lot of memory and disk space and it's one less thing I HAVE to study. I am a part time student and many of my classes are via internet as college is about an hours drive. There are a number of college sites that still provide LE to download for students. I think it's lousy that you're charging for something that students and faculty and non profits have come to rely on for years. But as my instructor says, there are plenty of others to try out if LE can't keep up with the operating systems. I don't have to worry about it just yet as I'm still using Win98se to boot - upgrading is not in every student's budget.
It appears ipswitch is not just trying to appeal to to users that will pay, but forcing the issue.

Sweden calling..I used to use the old WS FPT-95 and when I did it was great, simple - awsome. Still I have limited needs for FTP programs but since I decided to change clientserver somethingg went wrong and now I´m crying...

I use FTP_LE for my simple needs.

Still using LE version 5.08 2000 02.23. Tried others but like LE the best. Thanks.

I have been using WS FTP LE for many years now. Probably more years than I care to remember. It has served me well and I love it. I do a very high volume of FTP's daily and I need nothing more than LE. Nothing even comes close to it.

I am using WS_FTP95LE v5.08 2000.01.13

I've used this version for several years to maintain a very basic website for a local sports organization.

It is all, and more, than I need.

Running on windows XP.

BeeCee

I use the LE-edition for about 4-5 years already. I did try the 'pro' version but preferred the LE one, that is a lot simpler (at least to me).

What I like the most about this sw is that you see both sides - your own computer and where it is going or coming to/from.

Wish it worked on a Mac. It's better that 'Fetch'.

I am using WS_FTP LE version 05.08 2000.02.23 because I can't afford to buy more elaborate products.

I'm using WS_FTP LE. It does everything I need it to.

Still using WS-FTP Pro v.8.03. It does everything I need and more.

WS_FTP Pro

I am a long time LE user and it is hands down the best FTP program I have ever used, that includes many of the supposed full featured programs out there. It's the best, period.

I use WF_FTP Pro. I'm a mystery writer and it's easy to use for frequent updates of my website.

I use WS_FTP LE Version 5.08 2000.02.23

My requirments are modest. I maintain a web page for a sailing group I belong to. The WS_FTP LE handles my transfer needs very efficiently.

I really liked WS_FTP LE, but quit using it when I lost my hard drive and found the free LE version no longer available. I no longer use any version of WS_FTP

Using version LE 5.08

I bought the Pro version and another package, but only install this version on all my computers as it is perfect as is. Simple reliable and small.

Pia from Sweden here. At home I use WS_FTP Pro vers 9.1 and I really like it, the basic is very easy. Would love to have moore information in swedish - but.....

At work we still use WS_FTP LE.

I am using WS_FTP LE 5.08 2000 and this is fantastic tool for ftp.

I someone ask me to give the marks out of 10 on this tool performance, i will give it 10 out of 10.

I use ftp Version 9.02 204.08.18

WS_FTP LE
Version 5.08 2000.02.23 by John A.Junod

I am an occasional user of
WS FTP LE Version 5.08

I like it because it is just like the old pre-Windows transfer programme XTREE - easy to use and you can see what is happening

Using WS_FTP LE.

Ik gebruik WS_FTP LE Version 5.08 2000.02.23
voor onze school.

I use WS_FTP LE v 5.00.2000.02.23

I use WS FTP Pro 9.0 2004.06.17 and it works great.

I use WS_FTP Pro V 9.01

I am using WS_FTP LE v 5.08.2000.02.23

Been usising WS_FTP LE for Harumph years now - just in the middle of a rebuild of the site - maybe I'll upgate my ftp software????

WS_FTP Pro V7.61

I've been using LE version 5.08 for several years and it does all I want to maintain our village website. Nice and simple to use and it transferred to my XP computer from 98 with no problem.

WS_FTP Home version 9.0 2004.06.17

I use LE (4.60.98.03.17) and I am
satisfiedso far for what I do.

I use LE for a long time now and I verry happy.
It's working well on my XP PC. I try differend
FTP programs butt still come back to my LE the
best for me.

I am using LE 5.08.
It is simple, and does a lot more than I need. I usually transfer a file once every month or two, and it also allows me to delete what I have transferred from the remote site.

Using Professional 2006.0.1.0 - which I haven't yet used as I've been on holidays.

It looks really good, but as I am still disrupted and also changing ISP's it may be a little time before I do use it.

The prev versions I've had were great, so I expect this will be, too. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.

I am still using WS_FTPLE v. 5.08 2000.02.23 I have been using WS_FTPLE since 1998 (I am now in now
in graduate school).

Do they not have a more recent version of
WS_FTPLE or have they phased it out?

I love the ease of using WS_FTPLE and I tried a
trial of Pro four or five years ago and I did not
like it.

Jammy

Jammy,

WS_FTP LE has been phased out and replaced with WS_FTP Home. Go to http://www.ftpplanet.com/WS_FTPLE.html for more info.

The Pro version has changed a lot in the last few years. Check out the trial again and see if you like it now (there's also a free trial of WS_FTP Home available from www.ipswitch.com)
