Dual Client Window: The client window consists of two halves which can retrieve the directory listing of any URL types supported by Max-FTP. This enables you to transfer from client to client, server to client, client to server, and server to server. FTP Shortcut: You can save your sites into FTP shortcut files which can be loaded into Max-FTP anywhere on your system by double clicking the file. By default all your shortcut files are saved into your favorites at the time of creation, but they can be copied and used anywhere. FTP Site Favorites: Max-FTP uses your Favorites folder to save your FTP shortcut files in. This makes it possible in windows 2000/XP to load Web or FTP shortcuts from either Internet Explorer or Max-FTP. File Associations: Max-FTP has it's own file associations to save information about certain file types. You can set transfer types of files or the application Max-FTP will use to open that file type. This does not effect windows file associations. Drag & Drop Copy & Move: You can setup drag & drop to either copy media, or move media that's dropped. You can also have it prompt you to either copy or move when the media is dropped. Easy Tool Buttons: Max-FTP has a unique set of tool bar buttons placed around both sides of the client, and arranged around the scheduler. This makes your user interface even more user friendly.

Easy Log View A log view is displayed over your file view anytime you are performing file actions such as copy or delete. This log view can also be viewed when the program is idle by clicking the 'Show logging' menu under the 'View' menu. The size of the log view is just as big as the file view making it easy to read. Easy URL Usage: Max-FTP uses URLs which gives it great flexibility. To connect all you have to do is type in the URL.

For the advanced user Max-FTP offers a development platform and license.
