I'm on the hunt for a reliable FTP client that can help automate the process of pulling files from one of our vendors on a set schedule. Management has made it clear that it has to be a paid application—no freeware or PowerShell options allowed, so I can't rely on my usual tools. I've tried searching online, but mostly just came across bots and marketing fluff. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Honestly, I think you're in a tough spot. If management is really holding you to that strict requirement, it might be worth explaining that there are very few paid solutions that actually meet those criteria. If this isn't a one-off requirement, I’d consider looking for a new employer who understands practicality better!
Have you thought about Power Automate? I know management is against freeware or PowerShell, but it could be a good fit if you can get them to reconsider.
That's a solid point! If they insist on paying, maybe suggest the Power Automate premium license. It's around $15/user per month.
