My ws_ftp 12 Professional has stopped working on my Win 8.1 laptop. cannot currently afford to upgrade it.

So I am looking for a free ftp program, that can see .dot files as well as regular files, on my web sites. I'll also need to be able to change permissions.

Thanks !

I use an add-in for FireFox called FireFTP to upoad to my website. It's free and does all I need it to do.

    Retired in 2015 after working in the tech industry for 41 years. First 10 years as a Technician, the rest as a programmer/software engineer. After 1 year of retirement, I was bored so went back to work as a Robotic Process Automation Consultant. Retired for 3rd (and final) time in 2019.
Seems to be stuck at 'working' and never connects.

I downloaded a newer version of ws_ftp 12 Professional. Uninstalled the old copy. Installed new... which worked for about 20 minutes, and now crashes the same way.
