CrossFTP vs Filestash
Both stand on sftp client software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Choose CrossFTP for file transfers across FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and the listed cloud services, especially if you need a client for multiple operating systems. The free client is a starting point, while Pro features and Enterprise command-line or MCP components are separate options. Look elsewhere if you need published prices for Pro or Enterprise before choosing.
