I used to use WS_FTP back in the day, followed by Bulletproof and then CuteFTP, and finally settling on Filezilla (on modern systems - it used to support Win98 at some recent point)

I never used FTP to do local transfers though, so these choices are in the context of grabbing off FTP mirror sites 😀

well its easier to pick files I want form 98 than to go to 8 and send to 98 🤣

Here I use good old Windows file sharing and have a folder in my main PC mounted as a drive on my retro machine... but I think I needed to install the unnoficial service pack and change a few settings on Windows 8.1.

i used to use flashfxp, but windows command line ftp and even internet explorer would do too.

leechftp and flashfxp for me

What was the latest FileZilla to support Windows NT 4.0?

WINSCP

95-NT4 4.19 (last version I tested)
98-ME - 4.3.2 (last version I tested)
2000 - 5.7.0 (last version I tested)

Latest version supports XP+

WinSCP for Windows XP+ and Core FTP LE for older ones.

BTW, FileZilla doesn't support XP anymore.

I do the same!

No service packs needed. It's actually surprisingly easy. I did a tutorial on this a while ago:

Nice guide, but in my case I did not want to give "Everyone" full access to my files (there are other people on the network), so I had to install an update on Windows 98, but MS does not have that update up for download (it is one of those updates you have to request), so I ended up installing the unofficial service pack which includes it.
