Sooo...now that I can't use my beloved leechftp to connect to some servers because it doesn't have passive mode built in....I went on a search for a new ftp client. Here's what I've tried.
CuteFTP Pro - shite
WS_FTP - shite
Voyageur FTP - shite
Bulletproof FTP - shite
SmartFTP -shite
But I think I found a good one today.......wiseftp....looks good sofar.
