    Web FTP is site that let you connect and manage your FTP server right on the web. In short, it’s a FTP client running on web.

    Good:
    - It’s no need to install anything on your PC,
    - All you need is a web browser,
    - Fast: all tasks are done by web server and FTP server,
    - Easy to use: it looks like you’re browsing a web, not a FTP server,
    - Simple: Most web FTP has a WYSIWYG user interface.

    And bad:
    - No safe: your password is flying through the internet, and the website’s owner can be a bad guy :(
    - Can’t manipulate local files: because it’s running on the web, so you can’t manage your local files on PC.

    This is a list of web ftp that I knew and found from internet, sorted by alphabet:

    - BossFTP www.bossftp.com support most FTP commands, simple, fast, easy to use.

    - F->IT (https://fit.jupiterit.com/) simple, fast, easy to use, support basic FTP commands, like a code editor based on web, safer with https, open source.

    - FTPLive www.ftplive.com/ftp.html simple, fast, easy to use, support basic FTP commands.

    - Net2FTP www.net2ftp.com support most FTP commands, simple, easy to use, but not fast (everything is form :D ), open source.

    - phpWebFTP www.phpwebftp.com/demo40/index.php support most FTP commands, simple, fast, easy to use (has the Windows Explore user-interface), open source.

    - And Web2FTP www.web2ftp.com, but now deactivated, so I can’t try it. I’m waiting for the return of this site.

    And a lot of, yes, so many web FTP sites, but was not mentioned here: They’re using the Net2FTP source code, and some removed the 'Powered by Net2FTP' line :( In short, most of them are useless.

    Personally, I use Net2FTP, BossFTP, phpWebFTP, which are good enough for me.
