What do you like best about CuteFTP?

CuteFTP loads smoothly and doesn't have any unnecessary loading of features that could slow the overall file transferring process down. I can save the server locations and local computer locations in the site manager. I can import connection settings I established in other computers. I don't have to pay a giant amount of money to use CuteFTP continuously throughout the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CuteFTP?

Many extensive features make CuteFTP stand out significantly from similar FTP clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CuteFTP:

There are many file transfer applications available today, so be sure to check out as many as you can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CuteFTP solving and how is that benefiting you?

CuteFTP is a central part of my file management workflow. I can load it up quickly on different computers and access files on both my local computer and the remote servers. I can keep track of transfers as they are occurring and cancel them, if necessary. I can make vast updates to files within one transfer session. Though some transfers don't go through, a vast majority of transfers do. I don't have to sit there and wait to ensure the transfer goes through completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CuteFTP?

It has a great simple layout. it is very user-friendly. The transfer is smooth and I have had no issues with the program itself. It works just like if you moved files on your computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CuteFTP?

While the layout is effective there is now glitz to it. No pizzaz to the program. pretty bland in terms of visuals. But is that really what your looking for? it works as is if you need both bells and whistles maybe look somewhere else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CuteFTP:

Aside from no major updates, the tool is useful and keeps the wheels moving. The tool is easy enough to use and learn how to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CuteFTP solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a large vendor we use to Weekly Transfer files and communicate key information in regards to inventory . With out CuteFTP we would not be able to maintain a fluid exchange of information and continue with the vendor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CuteFTP?

So there is a little program that sends data. This is it. it does that. We don't need it for anything else. It sends the file and we like that. it does it every time we ask it to. the file always ends up where it's supposed to. We like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CuteFTP?

There is not a lot going on here folks. Sometimes the password changes without notice from the recipient. But the Software stays the same with no issues. open the program drop in the file. get the confirmation. close the program. not much to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CuteFTP:

It works. It's simple. There isn't much setup and Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CuteFTP solving and how is that benefiting you?

CuteFTP was a simple solution for a simple task. We drop our inventory update into the folder and it populates for a large eCommerce channel of ours. nothing too mindblowing about the process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CuteFTP?

The Simplicity makes this program so efficient. After the initial login, it opens and runs by itself. Drop the files wait for the transfer and Boom you are done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CuteFTP?

CuteFTP is very minimalistic. there is a simple GUI and the commands for the program do not go too deep. if you need a fancy setup and tap dancing icons maybe find another program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CuteFTP solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have to load our Inventory Manually and CuteFTP facilitates that for this eCommerce Channel. I large vendor who needs constant inventory feeds requires it. We aren't big enough for an automatic feed yet so we went with this program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CuteFTP?

This is such a simple FTP program and I enjoy the minimulistic way it handles the task. In runs like window file explorer used to and thats why its so painless to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CuteFTP?

Some say that not having a turbo-charged stat of the art User interface might be a setback.....I'm not one of that people. We do use an older version and i do have to reconfigure the logins ever so often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CuteFTP solving and how is that benefiting you?

CuteFTP is helping us with inventory interaction with one of our largest eCommerce platforms. We might soon walk away because of automation but for now, it does the job easy peasy lemon squeezy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CuteFTP?

The interface is simple and intuitive. There is no searching around for a button. A very straightforward layout. I can also utilize it like a file browser without logging in to and loading the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CuteFTP?

We have an older version. Not much here to dislike. I don't even know what other kinds of bells and whistles they can add to make this any better. Maybe it is too simple for some people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CuteFTP solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use CuteFTP to update inventory for a large online Retailer. It is simple and efficient once you get the passwords entered. This automation is now part of the vendor portal but it saves me a few clicks so I still use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
