Which FTP software do you use most often and can recommend? I've recently bought a domain and wish to get on with uploading my site.
Pretend I'm a computer illiterate but intelligent person who is willing to learn the skills needed, but hasn't a clue where to start...
What's the optimum of ease of use and cost, and how do I learn to use it?
I have been using BulletProof, but haven't bought it as yet.

I use
WinSCP2. It's free, easy to use and supports ssh connections that I require for my faculty account.

I use SmartFTP. Pretty easy GUI, will get your work done (judging by the type of person you are describing, who doesn't seem to be some server admin guru).

If you're desperate enough you can use IE ftp access. It's crude but quick and effective. I use it when I want to upload quickly from other locations.

I use cuteftp, have done for years. Simple enough, drag and drop works, multiple files in a queue, easy to set up etc...

using ftp commander myself. only a couple of windows and it's incredibly easy to set up. fairly intuitive interface.

I use Coreftp Lite, it's basically cuteftp...except you don't have to crack it after 30 days...since it's free.:p
