Tech Tuesday for March 1, 2021

This Weeks Free Software Pick

Last weeks’ free software pick was a bit geeky and sorry but this one is too 🙂 

FTP is a key way we move files around on big networks like the Internet. If you’ve ever developed your own website, you’ve probably at least heard of it.

Most Operating Systems like Windows have a built-in FTP program but they are usually command programs and not terribly easy to use. Thankfully, one of the best this party FTP programs, FileZilla, is also completely free. FileZilla supports all of the latest FTP technologies and is constantly updated. This is the only FTP program you’ll ever need.
