Free Rightload does simple context menu FTP
by Lee Mathews Nov 4th 2008
I wrote before about DropUpload, a simple utility to handle your FTP uploading chores. It's a nice, lightweight alternative for users that don't need a full-blown client like Filezilla.
Rightload is another great choice. Install it, and Rightload integrates into the Windows right-click context menu. Don't fret about clutter, it only adds a single line.
Right click any file or folder, hover on upload, and your list of FTP servers will appear (SFTP is also supported). Choose the folder to send your file to, and off it goes (or you can queue it up for transfer later).
While it's good and quick, simple uploads, Rightload is not so good at downloading the folder structure from your FTP server. On my server (which hosts a few domains, three Wordpress blogs, and a CubeCart install) it took forever, and then finally timed out.
I'd strongly recommend that you skip the directory synchronize function in favor of setting up directories manually. It's not that much harder, and it's faster.
Once you've got it set up, Righload is a great tool for quickly sending files via FTP. It's freeware, Windows only.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
