FireFTP – Free FTP Software for Firefox

Thursday, June 24th, 2010 at 6:59 pm

Since switching to Firefox a couple of years ago, I’ve grown to appreciate it as my browser of choice and for the many, valuable plugins and addons that are offered that make life a little bit easier.

FireFTP is a free and secure cross platform ftp client for Mozilla Firefox. FireFTP provides you easy and secure access to FTP servers.

While switching from Internet Explorer or Netscape takes some time, it’s well worth it in the long run. First and foremost – Firefox is much safer for browsing and did I mention all the plugins and addons?
