SFTP Client
Hi All,
We use Primasoft's AutoFTP client for all our corporate File Transfers. It's very versatile with functions like:
runs as a service
schedule Transfers
rename Transferred files
Append a date to file names (in the format of your choosing)
run .bat or .cmd scripts before/after transfer
The only problem is, no SFTP support. Does anyone know of a SFTP client with the same features (free or otherwise)?

Try WinSCP
Try this exe rather than installations if you only need to transfer files.
Its extension is currently txt, plesae change to .exe
its nice, small, freee and cool

Just noticed your requirements about scheduling and running as services, filezilla is a nice desktop client, but probably not what you're looking for.
Maybe CoreFTP comes in closer what you need:

I looked in depth at WinSCP, Filezilla, Tumbleweed, and a few others, none have all 5 features I listed. I'll check out Core and Robo today...

Core does not seem to have all the needed features. I'm looking at Robo right now, and it seems that all your scheduled transfers have to be scripted. I'm looking for a simple GUI like AutoFTP

Robo seems to be the closest thing to what I'm looking for far... any other non-scripted suggestions?

The reason I mention the file renaming and date features is because the files we download have a date in the filename; thus the filename changes every day.
I can schedule to download a file called <mm-dd-yyyy$-1>_foo.txt for example. On September 29, 2011, the file downloaded would be 09-29-2011_foo.txt
The next day, I would automatically get 09-30-2011_foo.txt and so forth.

oops, small correction. <mm-dd-yyyy$-1>_foo.txt for example. On September 29, 2011, the file downloaded would be 09-28-2011_foo.txt
the "$-1" means one day previous to current date. So on the 30th I'd get 09-29-2011_foo.txt

So I spoke with the makers of FTP voyager, and it does not support "yesterday's date."
any other non-scripted suggestions?

FTP Voyager comes the closest, but thanks for the suggestions.
