FTP with Multiple Simultaneous Transfers

SUMMARY: 3D-FTP supports a configurable theme, virus scanning after file downloads, logging, and other features.

3D-FTP is a file transfer application for Windows supporting multiple connections to an FTP server allowing for simultaneous file transfers. A site manager helps organize FTP connections and a variety of predefined sites are included with the software to get you started. The software supports using a proxy for FTP or HTTP connections if desired.

Features include importing sites from various clients such as CuteFTP and WS_FTP, a drag-and-drop user interface, support for transferring large files over 4 GB+ (claimed by the author, untested for this tip), and printing directory listings.
