People often ask our support representatives what the best solution is for uploading files to their website. Over the years the staff at Weberz have tried various FTP clients with varying levels of success. After discovering FileZilla we quickly rolled it out to all of our staff members.
FileZilla is an open source and is platform independent so it’s available on Windows, OS X and Linux. You can find it at filezilla-project.org. It supports both the FTP and SFTP protocols. The team behind FileZilla is also very active so updates and bugfixes are delivered on a regular basis.

Here’s a little nuance from H-Sphere that we just found out about, domain aliases now use one of the “included” domains in the users plan. We had trouble tickets come over from some new customers over the last few days who were having a problem getting all of their domain aliases assigned to a domain. Mainly due to the fact that the system wanted to charge them for these domain aliases.…
