AnyClient: Browser-based FTP client, no install required

Have you ever needed to access an FTP site while using a friend or colleague's computer? In some cases you can just type the URL into Firefox or Internet Explorer, but life's always a lot easier when you're using a full featured FTP client, so your first impulse is probably to download and install a free client like Filezilla.

AnyClient presents another option. It's a browser-based FTP client that can be run from any computer with Java installed. Unlike FireFTP, which is a browser add-on that you need to install before running, you can fire up AnyClient just by visiting a web site.

You can choose to save profiles of sites you visit to your desktop if you want. But the beauty of AnyClient is that you can access it from anywhere. AnyClient supports FTP, FTPS, SFTP and WebDAV protocols. There's also a free cross-platform desktop version available for download.

Looks ok but I have been using this one http://www.utechsoft.com/myftp/ for many years. I think I'll stick with them. You can't tell the difference between utechsoft (formerly known as unlimitedftp) and WS-FTP Lite Client. Runs fast on this T1 but I haven't tried it on dialup. Utechsoft offers bot secure and unsecure accounts.
