You'd be amazed how often I hear from people who have suffered <strong>complete data losses due to viruses<\/strong>, etc. I use <a href=\"https:\/\/rosalindgardner.com\/go\/trendmicro\">Trend Micro<\/a>.

I use WS_FTP Professional by Ipswitch, Inc which offers excellent security features as well as transfer and configuration settings. <a onmouseover=\"window.status='Direct FTP'; return true\" onmouseout=\"window.status=''; return true\" href=\"https:\/\/rosalindgardner.com\/go\/coffeecupdirectftp\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">Coffee Cup's Direct FTP<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ftjcfx.com\/image-1576815-5438737\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/> client is similar to WS-FTP and is <strong>free to try<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<p><a name=\"Text\"><\/a><\/p>\n<li>\n<h2>Text Editor<\/h2>\n<p>I write all of my posts and articles offline &#8211; so as not to risk losing my work should my Internet connection go down as <em>has<\/em> happened to me in the past.
