Monsta FTP - FileZilla like FTP software for browsers

You would have came across a FTP application like FileZilla or WinSCP which you have used to access a FTP server. These are Windows based and you need to install them on your desktop if you want to use them.

As a developer I commonly come across some situations where I need to access a FTP server but not in the position to use the FileZilla or install it. And again I was today in that situation and did a small research to find an alternative approach.

I came across a web-based FTP application called MonstaFTP and it really helped me to achieve what I wanted.

Some words from the MonstaFTP website:

Say goodbye to desktop FTP software forever because Monsta FTP can connect you to any Windows or Linux server right from your browser, anywhere, anytime. Open source PHP/Ajax supports the latest HTML5 browser technologies to easily drag and drop files and folders from your desktop. Just 2 files to install and away you go, uploading, downloading, chmoding, renaming, deleting and editing.

The MonstaFTP script is 100% open source, has a compact installation, and shows what a HTML5 web application can offer with an easy installation process.

Some of the features of MonstaFTP script:

• Open source GNU General Public License
• Includes full PHP/Ajax source code
• Written for programmers of all levels
• Compact install of just 2 files (+ assets)
• Supports FTP on Linux and Windows
• Drag and drop files to upload and move
• On-screen file editing
