I searched trough the forum and i dont find a working FTP program,do u know a FTP Program that works?

Windows Explorer is a serviceable one, if I just want to do a quick transfer I'll just use that.

If I want something with a few more features (eg the ability to resume transfers and automatically skip over unchanged files), I usually go with WS_FTP. Though my copy is pretty old by now - I use it because I dislike bloat, can't speak for what it's like now.

First of all, I presume you're talking about a desktop program. If you're talking about a ComputerCraft one, I wouldn't keep your hopes up. I think, due to the way the HTTP API is made (and the fact that it's HTTP) you can't really FTP. I might consider making one using an HTTP based proxy, now I think of it though.

For Mac, Transmit's pretty good. The built in Finder one's also reasonable and it mounts it too.

Unfortunately, pretty much all the Windows FTP clients look horrendous and are a pain to use, so I guess my I can only recommend this thing

If you're using Sublime Text 2 I highly recommend Sublime SFTP which I use all the time, and as a bonus it has upload on save.

An in game FTP client's not a bad idea though. I question how useful it would be, however.

Platform? Do you mean inside CC? Because that isn't possible without external plugins.

Filezilla, WinSCP.

Ehh i want a Computercraft program and i already seen some Ftps programs.

[robhol]

So.. use those? What are they, anyway?

[Felype]

But they have some bugs.

Google knows. Why ask here, and why so vaguely?

He's wanting a ComputerCraft program.

Yea, Felype the only way you could do this, which wouldn't actually be that hard would be to set up a HTTP based proxy in PHP or something. I'm sure there are PHP FTP modules available. Security is an issue, however. I don't know how useful it'd be though really.

I'm pretty sure he's asking about file transfer programs for use entirely within ComputerCraft. I don't know of any good ones, but nsh does allow file transfers if the get and put programs are present on the server. It's not really ftp at all, though.

If he is anything like I was when I started hunting and pecking around ComputerCraft, he may be looking for a way to get programs into his computer. If that is the case, he should be using pastebin. It is probably the simplest way to get started using other's programs or to save your own programs for editing/sharing. From the CraftOS prompt, typing in

pastebin get <pastebincode> <filename to save on computer>

will retrieve a paste bin file into the computer. Typing pastebin put <filename> will save the program out to pastebin for editing or sharing and give you back a pastebin code for retrieval later (write it down).

Otherwise, he can ssh to the server folder if it is available to him. In the minecraft folder, the computer craft programs are accessible to me through the number of the computer. For example, if I have computer ID 26, I can save programs to

<minecraft folder>/world/computercraft/26/<program name>

At least those are the ways I have come to using something like FTP access for writing programs. If he truly wants FTP functionality within ComputerCraft, I am at a loss.
