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

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

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

2How is this safe? Aren't the credentials submitted to your server? – Pacerier – 2014-11-19T09:54:11.747

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.)

2put "username:password" into the url if you reference it later... – akira – 2010-12-07T21:54:55.837

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 – 2012-01-09T20:05:30.553

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.
