What it does
Core FTP provides a Windows transfer client with SFTP, FTPS, transfer resuming, filters and command-line operation. Its Pro edition adds scheduled transfers and other features.
For an interrupted upload, resuming a transfer is more useful than starting the whole file again. Core FTP LE includes that control alongside drag and drop, remote searching and bandwidth management. The edition distinction matters for recurring work: the official page places unattended scheduling in Core FTP Pro. Start with a manual transfer and confirm the filters before arranging a repeated job.
