Good free ftp client? - Page 2

Yeah I have been using FireFTP for a while. It is very usable and works great. Mozilla wins again.

The only ftp uses I have are occassional filesharing of media files with friends, but FireFTP is awesome for that. I love it.

Yep, I use FireFTP too, it looks well and works fine.

Seriously man, FileZilla is like FireFTP 0.001 Alpha. There is no comparison.

I only use an ftp client for uploading stuff to my TG webspace. What would the benefit be for me to switch from Filezilla to FireFTP?

Hmm, but from what I found, FireFTP is a extension add-on to FireFox. It would interest me if it was also offered as a stand-alone client.

If you are getting everything you want from what you currently use, then there is no reason to switch. But if you are curious, give it a try and maybe you'll find a reason.

FileFTP for Windows, I love PirateFTP for Mac, of course it's only a free trial unless you buy it which is pretty cheap and worth it

It has virtual drop boxes, multiple tabs for both local and remote servers and more added onto all the features you're used to

Ok, I just noted two really handy features in FireFTP that I've never seen in an FTP client. I can upload a screenshot to some storage and then I can select the file and view it via the corresponding web link (in another Firefox tab), and/or, I can copy the link to it for easy posting to a forum (in another tab as well).

So this link below was made by:
1) clicking my TG ftp bookmark
2) selecting the fille and hitting ctrl-U to copy a properly formatted web link to the file
3) switching back to this tab and pasting the link

OK, you just sold me.

I just played around with that feature and I think that's pretty slick.

Hmm, does anyone know if FireFTP will support FXP transfers in the future? (FXP = site 2 site transfers)
