FTP Icon Connection All Beauty and No Brains? Forrest Stroud
All Beauty and No Brains?
FTPic's interface primarily takes its cues from Windows 95 and adds its own unique attributes, but look for most options to closely mirror those found in the Windows Explorer. For instance, as with Explorer, you have four display options for viewing the contents of a remote site: large icon, small icon, list, and detail views.
Unlike Explorer, FTPic lacks extensive right mouse button functionality and one-button sorting via clicking on column headers. In fact, FTPic's default alphabetical sort is the only sorting option available in the client. Your file management options are similarly limited -- the extent of FTPic's capabilities are renaming, deleting, viewing, and downloading files as well as creating new directories.
However, the client does provide sufficient firewall support as well as an extensive list of common FTP sites. Still, FTPic is quite superficial when it comes to offering more than just good looks.
