Fireftp – another nice feature!
I just wanted to make a quick note on something I discovered about Fireftp. I was browsing through some ftp locations to download an ISO of Linux and was about to look at saving the target by right clicking on the file when I saw an option to ‘open with fireftp’. I decided to try it out and discovered that Fireftp actually opened a new tab and logged me into the site anonymously and browsed directly to where the file was located. From here it was simply a quick highlight and then arrow click to save the file to my home directory. One of the big advantages of downloading via ftp is the support to continue if the download is interrupted as well as the speeds achieved. I plan on using this in the future often.
