Is there a Chrome (browser) extension like FireFTP from Firefox?

Question

I've tried to find it without success

I know this is quite an old question, but there is an FTP/SSH app on Google Chrome here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sftp-client/jajcoljhdglkjpfefjkgiohbhnkkmipm — Danny Broadbent, Jul 11 '16 at 15:19

Before you answer the question, you must know what FireFTP is!

FireFTP is not like ftp://example.com
FireFTP is not like net2ftp or chromeftp

FireFTP doesn't need to access any external website, FireFTP, similarly to FileZilla, directly accesses your FTP Server using Firefox. FireFTP has 2 panels like Norton Commander.

In short, there is no app like FireFTP in Chrome! Sadly, but it's true at the moment I'm writing this.

NOTE: That's why many users still use Firefox because FireFTP is very helpful!!!

An alternative might be to use a 3rd party website such as http://www.net2ftp.com

Again, not hugely exciting. Both the obvious looking "FTP" chrome extensions (Chrome FTP & FTP Client) are pretty poor, but you never know, YMMV.

I have put together a site using the net2ftp script that works pretty well. I put it behind and SSL so it is also secure.

http://chromeftp.com

How is this safe? Aren't the credentials submitted to your server? – Pacerier Nov 19 '14 at 09:54

Yeah, slim pickings, I'm afraid.

You can use Chrome's built-in FTP client, but it's pretty basic. eg: ftp://anonymous:password@ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/

(You can skip the "username:password@" prefix and Chrome will prompt you for them instead.)

put "username:password" into the url if you reference it later... – akira Dec 07 '10 at 21:54
I think this is a step in the right direction. I just wish that either a Chrome extension would feed off of this and enhance it more, or Google would improve this system so that I can read/write files and folders, rename things, delete things, and change permissions. – Volomike Jan 09 '12 at 20:05
No longer an answer I'm afraid. – malat Mar 16 '22 at 08:43

You just open a new tab or window and write your FTP address. It will then ask for the user and password details. You don't need to download any program or extension.

The FTP browser is read-only, so does a fraction of what FireFTP does – Andrew Alcock Jul 31 '12 at 09:05
