As for FireFTP for Firefox I have never been able to get it to work consistently. I have tried so many times and it just always ends in frustration.
what kind of problems? I had a few issues with files not transferring (say one track out of the show) with a old version. no problems with the updated one.
you can set up multiple accounts etc. I have one for archive saved with my login and password. just have to change the archive addy each time.
Going off of memory here. I remember the biggest problem I had was that once connected to a site (IA was one) it would connect but I was unable to scroll through remote directories because the program would just hang and eventually time out. Once I was finally was able to get a directory listing or change directories I was usually unable to transfer files. Again it would hang and then timeout. Several occasions that I was able to transfer it would get a file or two or three in and then again hang and timeout.
I had emailed a couple of times with the author and kinda always got the same type of response. "Lots of bugs, i'm working on it" When a good friend said he was having similar problems I decided to drop it and moved forward with FlashFXP. My thought was that i'd maybe pick FireFTP back up a little further along in development. FileZilla to me is just a mess of a program.
Which version of FireFTP are you running Gordon?
