Bullet Proof FTP Drawbacks and Conclusions Forrest Stroud
Drawbacks and Conclusions
BPFTP's impressive feature-set and unique selling points are somewhat offset by the features currently missing in the client relative to the competition. Multiple concurrent download capabilities, customizable toolbars, site to site transfer options, macro record/playback scripting capabilities, advanced synchronization tools, remote file editing, a pre-installed collection of FTP sites, FTP Voyager's Folder Short Cuts feature, and advanced file filtering capabilities represent the most glaring omissions.
Overall, while Bullet Proof FTP may not be perfect (yet), it more than makes up for its shortcomings. BPFTP's extensive set of features and relatively inexpensive price tag of $29.95 have helped the client gain a foothold in the extremely crowded FTP category, and its selection of distinctive capabilities have served to elevate the client above most of the competition. With a few more features and better attention to detail in terms of usability, Bullet Proof FTP will be able to attain even greater heights.
Pros: Solid feature-set, unique features like clipboard monitoring and leech mode
Cons: Lacks advanced features found in competing FTP clients, lacks extensive configuration options, interface and feature-set looking a bit dated (no major updates in a couple of years)
