How to Access Remote FTP Server with Firefox Add-On FireFTP?

This is probably the best firefox add-Ons developed so far that help you to upload, download edit files by accessing your remote FTP server just with help of this super cool firefox add-on called FireFTP.

I use Filezilla for accessing remote FTP server but  thats a desktop client and guess what? If i need to access FTP from any other computer/laptop, then no doubt I will install this add-on to Firefox and it will do the trick.

FireFTP is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers. Along with transferring your files quickly and efficiently, FireFTP also includes more advanced features such as: directory comparison, syncing directories while navigating, SFTP, SSL encryption, search/filtering, integrity checks, remote editing, drag & drop, file hashing, and much more!
