SmartFTP Online Setup - RECOMMENDED
The setup routine automatically checks which files are required for SmartFTP, then downloads and installs them on your computer.
Please see the Download HowTo and Installation HowTo for help.
Online Setup (72 KB)
SmartFTP Full Setup
Select "Auto Platform Detection" to let our server automatically choose the best setup package for you. The "All Platform" setup package contains the MSI installers for Win98/ME/NT/2k/XP and is only recommended for CD distributions.
Full Setup (Auto Platform Selection)
Full Setup (All Platforms) (6 MB)

Yup! Latest version is what you want. And two things to remember once you install: turn off the 'Keep Alive' and set your retries to 300s. That should keep the server admins happy.

so online setup or fullsetup??
-
here are my options for download...
I always get the Full Setup, All Platforms so I can [a] burn it to CD so I have a backup copy, and install on any machine without having to re-download. But really, it shouldn't matter whether you do full setup or online setup - the end result install should be the same.

I did the full setup all platforms. now typical, custom, or complete?
