Recently I downloaded two FTP tools. Like always, they are freeware. I like freeware better than shareware, especially for those small tools. I don't want pay $20 or $30 to buy. It is not worth of it. Different from other freeware, they are ad-supported software. If I do not need to pay, it is ok to see ads on software.
The first one is Speedbit Download Accelarator Plus 9.1. DAP GUI design is good. It is easy to use. The ads are shown in the right side. It will open browser if you click the ad. The thing I do not like is Speedbit DAP change IE browser home page to Speedbit search page during the installation. Additionally it also add Speedbit video download toolbar to IE browser. This is kind of bothering.
The second one is a GogoFTP. GogoFTP works like a file explorer. After connecting to the remote FTP server, The whole directory and files are shown for you to download or upload. Easy to use too. The ad is embeded in the right part of toolbar. Other than that, it does not change IE default page. It doesn't add toolbar to IE browser either. This is the thing I like. From the GUI, you can see GogoFTP advertising is powered by Younexus.
I went to www.younexus.com. Younexus provides clean and safe advertising solution for software application. Clean and safe advertsing means:
- It doesn't modify registry key database.
- It doesn't add BHOs or toolbar to browser.
- It doesn't automatically pop up window.
- It doesn't start or fork process.
- It doesn't collect browsing history or other personal information.
Althoug I don't like ads shown on software, comparing two ad-supported software, I like GogoFTP better. GogoFTP, powered by Younexus better, is quite.
I use WinSCP. what do you think?
ReplyDeleteYes. If you don't like ad shown on software, jsut ignore it. This doesn't hurt anything - what else is better than paying nothing to use a good software?
