Web-Based FTP

rain · **Web-Based FTP -** 01-20-2007, 03:02 AM

Several months ago, for an unknown reason, I couldn't use any FTP softwares. I've tried WS_FTP and some freeware FTPs, but I couldn't connect to my FTP server.

At that time, I was greatly helped by web-based FTPs. I knew 2 such sites but this is my personal favorite:
www.web2ftp.com

It can upload zip files and extract it automatically -> I like this feature.

Nice! +rep, but doesn't Internet Explorer have a built in FTP interface?

Yes, IE does have FTP interface, but I personally don't like to use it because it's slow. Furthermore, it can't upload zip and automatically extract it, right?

i think web2ftp closed because of some hacking problem they had.
if you want another web-based FTP i recomend www.net2ftp.com

but i still prefer SmartFTP, you should try it ^^

Fair point - the time I used the FTP interface at school, it crashed the computer... I thought it was just the crappy school computer but maybe not

Aha :P In fact, if I access that using my school computer, I think it will crash too :P The connection there was really bad

My standard home connection is even much much better than my schools'.

My school has a really good internet connection, I reckon it's just the computers.

Well, i prefer to use external applications (regular software)! I use FlashFXP and it serves me great!
