Best Free Windows 64-bit FTP Client
Overall, the only 64-bit FTP client I found fails to match the top 32-bit selections in our review Best Free FTP Client. Unless you feel that a 64-bit FTP client is essential I suggest that you look there for the solution best suited to your needs.
Vision Works Null FTP is a cut down version of the paid product. It has the typical local and remote files panes which support drag and drop, and status and log windows which provide details of the current connections and file transfers. It also has two limitations which are likely to affect your decision to use it: only three concurrent transfers and only three FTP servers are able to be defined for quick connection.

Qttabbar for Windows 7;
ALPHA RELEASES!!!!
http://qttabbar.sourceforge.net/
Regards, Mike Connor
Mike, you and I any perhaps many other readers can cope with alpha releases. They are not, unfortunately, for the average reader, so we need to exercise a degree of caution.
Thanks for your input,
Rik
Just for info, here it is running on 7 Ultimate;
http://yfrog.com/3zqttabult2j
http://yfrog.com/jqqttab7ultj
with a tab group open.
I have had no problems at all with it. Very very good indeed! What explorer should have been..............
( PickPick runs very well on Ultimate as well )
Regards, Mike Connor
It may be running good for you, but as Rik said... alpha releases are not for general use, and so we do not recommend them. I will repeat what Rik said, please exercise caution.
Anupam has correctly echoed my earlier comments. By all means experiment with Alpha software if you are sure you can get yourself out of any situation you get into. I think that says it all.
Rik
For anyone who is unsure, here is an article about the various release stages of software. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Alpha
I apologise for being out of touch I am in the middle of moving home. All things being equal I should be back on track from Monday.

Comfortable free partitioning software ( Home use ), runs well on 64 BIT 7 ( Tested on "Ultimate" with 2* two-terabyte discs.

Why would you want to partition an individual disk anyway, it has dreadful performance implications?
Rik
Another example:
A casual acquaintance complained about how slow his system had become. I had a look at it for him, and he had FIFTEEN !!!!!! partitions on his single primary disc ( which was a slow disc anyway), he was shoveling data all over the place, and the disc sounded like a badly tuned lawnmower!
I used the software to delete everything, reformatted, and installed his system new.
Result? System a lot faster, no noise.
It seems people try out various Linux distributions and other stuff which makes more partitions, various boot loaders, and a whole host of other stuff. This clutters the system. It's just very easy to clear it all up by deleting everything.
The Windows utilities for this are not very comfortable at all.
WARNING!!! If you delete partitions, then THE DATA IS GONE!!!.
Only do this is you have backups, and know what you are doing!!!
Regards, Mike Connor
I wouldn't, ( and don't!!!) want to, but I have found it extremely useful for DELETING partitions, and some other stuff.
On some systems it can be useful to partition a SECOND disc on the system, mainly so that backups from these systems can run a lot faster.
E.g. Some business software, bookkeeping stuff and similar, runs backups to a SECOND internal disc. For security backups to an external disc ( or network etc), I don't want to backup a whole disc, and would not use forensic backups anyway, ( meaning only actual data is imaged instead of the whole disc/partition).
Some people do want ( at least they think they do! :) ) to set up various partitions for other reasons, ( although I can't think of any other sensible reasons). This software removes all that, so that their systems run sensibly again.
The software is only free for home use!
I was never gone, but I don't always sign my posts.......

Glad your back! :)
Why does the post date of article show as 9/9/2009? I know this post is newer.
Also, I have a suggestion. Since this is a rather long post, perhaps you could put a quick note at beginning with version edits on text section, could keep last 5 or so:
i.e.
5/19/2010 Added Firewall, Updated Disk Cleaner
4/10/2010 Updated File Manager, Registry Cleaner
3/20/2010 Updated FTP Client, Email
Therefore, we could skip to the sections that are new or changed. If it is just updating the bottom section with a different URL download address or version number, without adding to the text section, then I would leave that out.
This is something that will need to be run by a number of other people that contribute to the site. I'll get back to you.
Rik
I second this if it is possible and not too much work!
Thanks
Good idea! I will third this.
You guys sure did make a good impression on Jake yesterday talking about MS Xp.I realize that it is still used on a large scale, but Win 7 is way better and when compared to Vista the system is more "hardened" It has DEP, UAC, ASLR. Let's not try and get people to stay regressed on XP. Windows 7 is already a success and there is nothing that can stop its momentum. Remember Windows 2000, no support for come July, and eventually XP will suffer the same fate. And there's no way the whole world will migrate to Linux or Ubuntu unless there is a paradigm shift of volcanic proportions.
Many people will continue to use XP as their existing hardware may not support Windows 7. Others will stick with XP as their software won't run under Windows 7 and they don't have the time, energy or inclination to switch to XP mode or a virtualistion tool.
XP is good for support through 2014, much will have changed by then, including PC demographics.

I wanted to let someone know that I simply adore this column or section of the website b/c I browse the internet a lot and most of the time can't find sections or website solely dedicated to this platform.(Windows 7/Vista.) As a happy Vista user since summer of '07, I love the layout of this page! It at least points me in the right direction and makes me curious to try some the of the software. It's like a breath of frest air b/c in 2007 and 2008 there was so much Vista bashing by the media. Nice to see a website give it "props"
Thank so much!
why does my firefox v3.6.3 not work well with windows 7 home premium?
I'm experiencing problems with Firefox too on my Windows 7 (64-bit) system (E6300 dual CPU and 4GB RAM). After I wake the computer from sleep, Firefox turns into a 50% resource hog and lags really badly, necessitating a complete computer restart. Hopeless. Even IE8 works better!
I'm trying out other browsers at this time.
This could be down to a number of reasons but we would need to know more detail such as what is actually wrong and a list of the extensions you have installed for Firefox.
Please posts this information in the forum where there are already several threads relating to Firefox as it is much easier to offer this kind of support there.

Please note that I do not tolerate 'fan boy' posts against this article. Both I, and the people that come here in search of information, deserve better than that. Any such posts will be deleted immediatetly.
To keep in the spirit of this the off the wall exchange that appeared in the comments has been removed.

Does Double Commander allow access to network files? I can't see network drives.
Please see my response below.
Thanks,
Rik
This article is topnotch! You all do great work for us less knowledgeable users.
Question: I can't seem to be able to find my Network files with Double Commander. Is is possible, and if so how?
Many thanks for the kind feedback.
The network drive functionality is 'under development' and having written code like that myself I doubt it will be long in coming. I'll monitor progress on this and report back as soon as it is available. I'll also update the article to indicate that this is an issue.
Thanks again,
Rik
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll wait for the update.
