If you are a website developer like me or just download files from FTP servers every now and then you will be using some kind of FTP client but does it really have any useful features?

After doing some hard core research I found some people mention BitKinex, the name doesn’t really do it any favours as it doesn’t stand out to be an FTP client in any way but I thought hmm I will give it a shot.

What I like about BitKinex

There are many FTP clients out there such as Smart FTP and File Zilla but they all lack one important feature for me:  FTP Websites Management

BitKinex has this awesome straight in your face window with a tree structure of all the saved ftp server profiles, you can organise them into folders which is very handy for being a website developer with all the different client websites I have access to.  Just take a look at the  screenshot below:

Another great feature I love about BitKinex is if you need to have more then one FTP server open all you do is go back to the main tree window and double click the server and it opens a new window then automatically connects!

For each FTP Server window you can drag items in from windows explorer, drag between each window and also set a default directory for when you connect! The features are endless!

For speed you can set the amount of connections it will use on each ftp server so you can upload and browse files MUCH much faster.

You can specify rules, what to download and what not to download by the file types etc.

I did use Smart FTP and Filezilla for a very long time and I thought they were the best clients out there until I tried BitKinex.
