Free CrossFTP handles basic FTP chores on any OS

Both apps download and run in a flash. All of the functions I need for most FTP chores are available in the free, basic version: upload, download, site/connection manager, rename, delete, CHMOD.

The server works nicely, and can be set up with minimal fuss. It's extremely configurable and an easy way to quickly provide FTP access to any system's files.

While I'm not going to forsake FileZilla for this one, it's a nice app to bookmark just in case.

It seems that its multi-tabs are very convenient compared with opening multiple FileZillas, and in this case resource consumption is similar. Java program sometimes can be really fast!
