I've been using CUTEFTP for years, version 2.8, and it's always seemed
robust. I don't appear to have my original setup file (I usually keep
them), but the entire folder C:\Program Files\CuteFTP containing 21
files is only 1.3MB, and I've just ZIPed it to 621KB. I expect it
would run straight from the executable; this version, 2.8, probably
came out only shortly after the invention of electricity and indoor
plumbing, much less registries! You're welcome to try it if you don't
settle on anything else. Alternatively later versions are at the
developer's site:
