The one I am keeping – iFTP Pro - The File Transfer, Manager and Editor Review

This is the 5th FTP tool that I've tried, and it's the one that I am keeping. Earlier, I've tried iTransfer ($2.99), FTP Client Pro ($1.99), FTP 4U (free), and FTP Ready Lite (free). Some work, some don't, but all had user interfaces that are annoying, inconsistent, confusing and unnecessarily complex. It seems these guys have learned nothing from Apple, which made its name in large part based on the simplicity and elegance of its designs. This app has simple and rational design with just the features that you need -- it's a file transfer program -- you don't need a clock or a theme background! Things that could be improved: (1) the user manual is an atrocity to the English language; and (2) the menu for interacting with the Web server (nice feature!) is confusing. I would suggest something like: Transfer files: 1.Import files from a Web URL 2.Exchange files with a computer on local area network The latter should display a message such as "Open a browser on the other computer and enter this URL: http://10.1.0.xxxx:8080. You may then use the browser to exchange files between the computer and the iPad." BTW, Sometimes files transferred to the local storage are automatically uploaded to the FTP server? Also, "Finished uploading" has no effect. Not clear what closes this web server.
