Editor's review
This software is FTP client and also supports SFTP. It can work as a WebDAV client as well.
BitKinex integrates the functionality of a FTP, SFTP and WebDAV client for Windows. The program, in contrast to many similar FTP clients, has some unique features. You can minimize the space occupied by the program to one small window. This will keep showing only the running transfers happening. It will grow to a larger window with full details with just a few clicks again. The program uses multiple connections to optimize transfer speeds achievable. It would do the same for browsing the remote site too, to find what`s interesting on that. If you happen to select a wrong file, not much damage is done, you can click immediately on the right folder and the program will start transferring the right data to your client. This tool uses indirect server-to-server transfers and thus is able to communicate with servers running different transfer protocols such as FTP=>WebDAV, WebDAV=>SFTP, SFTP=>FTP, etc.
The interface is generally intuitive and thus should be easy to learn. The views offered let you see the contents of the local as well as the remote site. If there are too many to visually check, if there are differences, the software will let you find out the differences in the files you have at the two sites. It supports a large number of protocols and that`s an advantage as it can communicate with a wide range of servers. The access security is very strong and that adds to the value of the program besides the rich functionality.
