This client is only recommended for small file transfers from a server, due to limitations compared to dedicated client software.<ref>[https://helpdesk.egnyte.com/hc/en-us/articles/201637914-FTP-Access-through-Windows-Explorer FTP Access through Windows Explorer]</ref> It does not support [[SSH File Transfer Protocol|SFTP]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=CSC373/406: SSH [2011/03/27-29] |url=https://fpl.cs.depaul.edu/jriely/373/lectures/class-01-014.html |access-date=2023-10-13 |website=fpl.cs.depaul.edu}}</ref>
