Net2ftp is a solid web-based FTP client


Every now and then I need to FTP something from a computer that doesn't have an FTP client installed. Since it always seems to happen when I forget my flash drive, I like the option of using net2ftp's web-based client.

The basic interface is all PHP, so it should work just fine in any browser. It performed nicely in Chrome, Firefox, and IE on my desktop and even on my iPod touch. It's a very capable client and can do just about everything that a desktop client can: create and CHMOD files and directories, view and edit text files, copy, move, delete, zip, and unzip items.

Java and Flash uploaders are available if you'd like to queue multiple files. Clicking on the heart icon creates a bookmark that will open net2ftp and jump to a specific FTP folder after logging in to your server.

An install option is provided as well if you'd like to copy the net2ftp installer to your own server. Modules for Drupal, Xoops, and Mambo are included for quick and easy integration.

The interface also supports 3 different skins and more than a dozen languages. It's a handy tool for taking care of quick FTP transfers when you don't want to mess around with a full-blown desktop client.
