If you own a website or is managing one you must have made use of a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client to upload and download files. Typically you might be having a FTP client application installed in your workstation such as Filezilla.
But suppose you are away from your desk, maybe on the way home, or on a long holiday and suddenly your boss would call and request you to do a critical change to a file in the site. If you have no access to a machine pre installed with a FTP client anywhere near, you will have to face some trouble. But here is a smart solution for FTP requirements on the go – Net2Ftp.com
Net2Ftp is a web based FTP client that enables you to login to your file server from anywhere in the world anytime of the day. You can access it from any machine with an internet connection or through your smartphone.

What’s Hot
There are several catchy features in Net2Ftp that you would be interested in knowing.
The best news is, Net2Ftp is integrated into many popular CMS (Content Management Systems) like Jhoomla, Drupal, Mambo etc enabling you easy transfer of files from anywhere.
Also this has been translated into more than 15 languages which make it usable to many people all over the world.
Net2Ftp comes in different skins too for you to choose from according to your preference.
Privacy and Protection
Net2Ftp is not an irresponsible online service. It keeps track of your interactions and provides you several security mechanisms. If you think someone has accessed your server without authorization, you can complain to this service and they will provide the IP addresses which accessed your file server for the past two weeks.
Also they can ban access from net2ftp to your file server upon your request. There are more security features such as banning keywords to prevent scam uploads etc.
It is true that you can access and manage your file server through the administrator panel too (like cPanel). But that access is limited only to the administrators. However you might have other people who do changes to files, upload, download content but you can’t give them Admin panel access too. Therefore at times like that you can give restricted access to those personnel and enable them to access the server through Net2Ftp.
This is a really usable, secured site which is considered as highly reliable. If you have any experience with this service, do share with us here at NOG.
