Web Based FTP Client

Have you ever needed to quickly connect to an FTP site to either upload or download a file, but you don’t have an FTP client handy? If so, then net2ftp is site you will find helpful.

When you visit the site, the usage is obvious: you enter the server and login information and then you can do all your FTP’ing from within your browser. net2ftp does offer some rather interesting features:

  • There are 3 different ways to upload files: the standard upload form, the upload-and-unzip functionality, and the Java Applet.
  • Edit HTML a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) form; there are 2 different editors to choose from (FCKEditor and TinyMCE).
  • Edit HTML and PHP in an editor with syntax highlighting (CodePress).
  • Filter out files based on the filename, last modification time and filesize.

I would be wary of the fact that you do have to submit your full credentials in order to connect (0bviously) and once you do, you don’t know whether or not this information is stored. No need to be paranoid, but I would be careful about using this service for sensitive information.
