JAWS Friendly FTP Client
|
Brad Martin
Once upon a time, you could use Windows Explorer to access FTP
servers. According to Google, you still can, but my computer
disagrees. Following Microsoft's instructions, no matter what I do,
I get an error that says the folder I'm specifying is invalid. So
I'm totally over that.
I know how to use FTP from the command line, but I've got some really awkwardly long file names, and I'd rather not have to type them exactly. (It's a UNIX server so capitalization even matters.) Can anybody recommend a basic FTP client that JAWS reads well? Ideally free. I don't need anything fancy; I just want the ability to copy some files from a regular folder on my computer and paste them into the FTP server, and the other way around. Thanks, Brad

Brad, I cannot speak at all to accessibility, since I've never had a client with a need for FTP capability, but you should definitely give Filezilla a try to see if it plays well with JAWS. It's a great little FTP client, and if it does play well with JAWS I'll bet you'll love it. It's free and open-source, so there's no risk in trying it and it's been around for a very, very long time.

Filezilla is pretty good, unless they went south for the winter as I have not used it since last January or so…

FileZilla is good. I use it at work from time to time.

fileZilla is definitely accessible with JAWS. I use that
and WinSCP on a regular basis. I recommend WinSCP over FileZilla only because it
lets you edit a remote file locally. As a linux sysadmin, I use that pretty
extensively--mostly because I'm lazy, and typing "nano <filename>" just
takes too long.

Oooo, nice touch. I saw the name WinSCP, but couldn't remember where
I've seen it before so didn't know if it was reputable. But local
editing of files on a linux box certainly has its appeal. I think we
have a winner.

Fillezilla is completely accessible with JAWS. I've used it since JAWS 10.
