FireFTP: Free FTP client for Firefox


I usually use CUteFTP for uploading and downloading to server but lately it becomes slow for no apparent reason. I need to shut it down, restart the CuteFTP before it is back to its normal performance. It's really annoying because it takes a lot works just before I can begin doing simple chores like uploading file to server. Being in this state, FileZilla pops into my mind but I rather look into something more simpler which does not involve many functions and buttons.

Here comes FireFTP; it is free, secure and a cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox. 1 of the reasons why I'm so appealed to this plugin is because I don't have to switch to other applications; everything is done right inside the Firefox.

    But we can’t edit file with FireFtp… Otherwise, it’ll be perfect!
