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.
Here is the complete list of FireFTP features.

- Character Set Support:UTF8 and just about any other character encoding supported
- Automatic reconnect and resuming of tranfers
- Search/Filtering
- Integrity Checks of transfers (XMD5, XSHA1)
- Export/Import accounts
- Remote Editing
- File Hashing: Generate hashes of files (MD5, various SHA's)
- Drag & Drop
- Timestamp Synchronization
- Proxy support
- Advanced properties (CHMOD, recursive CHMOD, thumbnails)
- Tutorials and help files available along with personalized support
- IPv6 support
- Open Source!
- Seamless integration with Mozilla Firefox
- ...did we mention it's free? :-)
