FireFTP is a completely free, secure, robust and --- best of all cross-platform FTP client (extension) for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers. You can easily drag and drop files from your local directories to the server. Obvious benefits are: large files upload (large images, videos, documents), multiple file upload, folder upload,...
If you don't have it installed just follow the steps described on the image bellow:
- Open Firefox, click on Tools >> Add-ons
- Type in "fireftp" and press Enter to browse for it
- Click on "Add to Firefox" and after installation finishes restart Firefox.
Go to your menu bar and click Tools -> FireFTP. Alternatively, you can use the toolbar button. To add the toolbar button, right click on the Firefox toolbar and select "Customize...". Then find the FireFTP button and drag it to the toolbar somewhere.
Make sure you have successfully restarted Firefox after installation; otherwise FireFTP will not be fully installed.

FireFTP will open in another tab by default. To connect to remote ftp click on "Create an account" as described in the image bellow.
If you are doing website maintenance w/ OGO Sense and do not know
your FTP login info, please
contact us.
After typing in the main details and ID confirm with OK and click the "Connect" button to make the connection to your site.
Once you've connected, you'll find that the local files are on your left and the remote files are on your right. You can click on a local file and press the arrow pointing to the right to upload a file to the server.
Similarly, you can click on a file on the right side and press the arrow pointing to the left to download a file from the server to your computer.
It would be good if you could use ...images/stories folder for uploading your documents and further classification of those as well.
Check for more tips in the image bellow:
