LeapFTP Editor's Review
LeapFTP is a potent FTP client which speeds up the uploading process to FTP servers. LeapFTP is a marked improvement over its last version. This version has come up with a host of new features along with bug fixes over the last version. It also has a FTP server security fix for malicious programs.
The software can be downloaded from the LeapFTP page and should not take more than a couple of minutes if you are using high speed connection. Installer is around 2.6 MB and has been assigned a digital signature to protect against any sort of digital tampering. Installation is quite easy with couple of extra options than installers usually have. You have option to select components to install too. Even with those extra options during installation, it does not take more time than installations usually do.
LeapFTP supports uploads of other formats like HTTP, FTP+SSL, FXP, SFTP/SSH and HTTPS along with FTP transfers. Multi-server transfer engine is provided integrated with a scheduler for fast transfers. The user interface is excellent and allows for tabbed browsing in order to equip the user with the capability for multiple transfers simultaneously. Speed limiting is enabled for uploads and downloads so that other programs don’t suffer because of excessive bandwidth usage. Broken transfers are started automatically upon restart of software. For UNIX servers there are provisions for remote file editing along with CHMOD. Scheduler can be set both for recursive transfers as well as one time transfers.
Since LeapFTP has the drag and drop option which makes it extremely convenient to use. This option gives it a lot of portability and enables the software to be used on the fly too. Transfers can be resumed if the connection breaks due to some reason. There is a site database manager to ensure quick connection and in case of loss of connection a dedicated tool is provided to redial till connection is established.
LeapFTP uses the OpenSSL library for transport layer security. For SSL and SSH connections a 256 bit encryption is provided, which ensures the safety of data. The encryption on the site database is quite strong and uses Rjindael Cipher.
LeapFTP works equally effectively on every operating system. The program can be configured and placed on the start tray so that the program opens as soon as you switch on your operating system. Even during high speed transfers the system speed is seldom affected.
Some users might find it difficult to use and understand and that might be due to the abundance of features it offers. Although it comes with well-documented help files, its learning curve is definitely bigger than some of the other similar programs.
Positive Points:
- Lightweight and easy to install and use.
- Availability of ‘Drag and Drop’ user interface.
- Good encryption techniques and security.
- Loaded with tons of features.
Negative Points:
- Might be a little too difficult to use at first as far as beginners are concerned.
- A bit pricey.
Conclusion:
LeapFTP is one of the leading FTP clients in the world. Its sleek look combined with powerful functionalities and minimal effect on system speed makes it every user’s favorite. Though the application also has a comprehensive help file, beginners might find it difficult to use. It can be used where productivity demands are high and advanced level tasks are required. Its direct competition is with CuteFTP and considering Filezilla and WinSCP are available for free, it has a steep price tag on it.
