What it does
SmartFTP is a Windows transfer client supporting FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV and multiple cloud-storage connections, with automation and synchronization features.
SmartFTP covers website publishing, media uploads and synchronization between local and remote folders. The edition matrix matters before setting up a job: Professional includes FTP, FTPS, SFTP and WebDAV; Ultimate adds Google Drive and OneDrive; Enterprise adds S3, Google Cloud Storage, Backblaze B2, Box and scheduled transfers. Resume, folder synchronization and remote editing are listed across all three editions. The 30-day evaluation runs as Enterprise, so a successful trial connection does not establish that a lower edition includes it. Licenses are available as perpetual use with one year of upgrades or as a yearly subscription.
