The clear cache button will be most useful for me. Tried FireFTP before but I am sticking to my FileZilla.

and for cache thingy ..
just press Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl+Shift+R .. that’ll override cache. No need to clear entire (valueble) cache

Uhm, just a remark the fireFTP button is already there….:

‘you need to right-click a toolbar, click on customize, find the button and drag it to any toolbar. I placed it just to the left of my URL bar , so it’s quite accessible’

You can simply press shift while loading a page to circumvent the cache. Not need to flush the cache.

If you will stuck with Russian interface – I think I can made custom archive with English for you (AFAIR I moved it from one disk to another last summer by simple copying – so it must be somewhat portable).

One more I forgot – that program designed for Russian-speakers though (program itself got english and polish .lng files).

Forgot to say – it’s free, and from December got it’s own FF extension (Opera integration app exists too).

Since 2006 I prefer outside third-party cache utility HandyCahce. As for me,
1) it is much more efective, than built-in cache
2) I can share ONE cache for as much browsers as I want (Opera and FireFox at least), and even as many PC as I want (it allows outside access).
3) I can turn it off when I don’t need it (but in most cases it autodetects changes on pages)
4) It can grow gigabytes in size without any problems for browser and without big memory consumption .

Occasionaly it hangs, or throws error, but that not too often – and I can reload it in seconds.
And sites like Youtube don’t on good terms with it, but in Firefox I can made flexible acces settingss FoxyProxy extension.

Only one major drawback: it hosts thousands of files, so checkdisk or defrag can take a long time.

wow, we wrote blog entries at almost the esame exact time regarding FireFTP. I just deleted my standalone FTP client because I liked it so much.
