This extension is a great time-saver. Whenever I wanted to upload an image to add into my article I had to fire up an external ftp client and use it to upload the image to my ftp space. Fireftp adds a full features ftp client to firefox, this means you can add an unlimited number of ftp hosts, transfer / delete / rename files, set passive mode and much more.
I think that this extension is primary useful for webmasters who do not have the option to upload or download files from within their website directly. I´am not sure if I would use this as my primary ftp client if I would have to transfer files daily from different servers. But it´s only 100k, it´s worth a try in my opinion.

Does it support sftp?
I spend allot of time on the command line so scp works great for me. I actually think it is faster in some cases.
When I feel like using GUI I open up Konqueror (I use KDE so Konquerror is my default file manager) and split the window into two panes with (CTRL+Shift+L) and sftp to my server in one pane for quick drag and drop action.
I don’t think I’d have much use for this extension, but it can see how it could be very useful for some.
Sir, I respectfully submit the following comment which is only tangentially related to the topic-but important all the same. The correct spelling is ‘Time-SAVERS’ [V] (not ‘time saFers) [F]
I used to be an English teacher, you see, and so I hope you’ll excuse my pedantry-I mean no harm by it.
Its just that if you have any adversaries, they will grab onto any such oversight, no matter how small, and hold it up to one and all as an example of your [inability]
I do not believe you to be unable AT ANYTHING. This is a very good site which I recommend frequently. Keep up the good work!
