Step 1
The easiest way is to use the link under the reference section below that says “Download Free FTP Software”. This is a page which has been set up to download a service called FTP Commander which is a free FTP Software. When you visit this URL, all you will have to do is click the button that says “Download Now” and let your computer walk you through the installation process.

Step 2
You can also go to downloads.com and do a search for FTP software. There are sort options. Select the option that says “Free” otherwise you might be downloading a trial version which may lack functionality and shutdown after the trial period. This site also provides ratings for the free FTP software so that you can select one based on input from others who have used the software.

Step 3
If you don’t find the free FTP software from one of the previous two sources, try the search engines. Beware of un-reputable sites which may be posting malware or spyware under the guise of free FTP software. This method is not recommended, but can certainly help you to find what you are looking for.

Step 4
Check out forums and chat rooms to find out what others are using and where they found it from. This is a great way to get valuable input. Be leery of someone recommending a product that they are distributing themselves as it may just be a sales pitch. Also, make sure that you are only taking advice that is legal. If the download is not legal you don’t want to use it because you can be held responsible for downloading the illegal application.
