Anyone know another program that I can use to upload AMVs to the site? My free trial of cuteFTP has expired, and I need another free one... anyone know another one?

Windows Explorer. Type ftp://username:password@host as your address.

Windows also comes with a <strike>ripoff</strike> port of the BSD FTP client, if you like console mode.

My favorite client is NCFTP (freshmeat project page), (official client site).

LeechFTP (http://stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~jdebis/leechftp/) is also worth trying even though its development have been stopped.. but it's freeware ;)

I use SmartFTP (http://www.smartftp.com/). I haven't tried using it recently, but if I read their information correctly, unless you're a for-profit organization (which you're not), you don't need to pay anything, ever, to use it. It works just fine for me.

SmartFTP is what i use now, but as Thryril said you can just do it through IE so theres no real point to dling any software.

If you are the one who created that name, then why the hell did you make it so hard to remember!

There is the best ftp right on your comp... its call Command prompt

type in ftp

open *address*
username
password

basically you just gotta make sure your in the right folder on your comp before you want to upload anything (or go into the ftp period)

...or just type lcd [directory] while in the FTP client to set the local current directory.
