Fire FTP is a file transfer program that allows you to transfer files from your computer to you web host through a tab in Firefox web browser. It is a pretty nifty program and is very easy to install and use. To install the program, click on Add-Ons under the Tools menu. This will bring up a window for installing Themes, add-ons and many other extensions to Firefox.
Add-on Window
You can search for FireFTP by typing into the Search All Add-ons bar.

FireFTP Window
You must configure the program to connect to you web host. You can click on Create Connection option in the drop down menu in the upper left corner of the tab. This will bring up a window that allows you to put in many different connection details.
Account Manager
You account name is just an name that you want for the connection. It is best to make this something that reminds you what your connecting to. The host field is your website a.k.a yourdomain.net or yourdomain.com etc. The login field is asking for your username. This can be found in cPanel in the statistics section that you see on the right side right after you login along with a bunch of other technical information that you probably haven’t looked at since setting up you account. Your password is the same password that you use to login to cPanel. the category option is used if you wish to categorize the connection along with other connections that you might have (probably not the case if you are reading this tutorial). You can leave this field blank. After clicking ok, you should be able to click on the Connect button that was previously greyed-out just to the right of the Create Connection drop down menu. This should connect you to your domain and display a file structure(a bunch of folders) in the right side of the window. If it does not then double check the fields in the create connection dialog by clicking the Edit button next to the Connect button and check that you have a stable Internet connection.

In order to transfer a file from you computer to the domain and vice versa, just select the file and press the arrow in the appropriate direction. One point of not is that the folder that the receiving side is currently in will be where the file will be placed. Another point of note that is rather important is with regards to security. With the current connection configuration, all data that is sent from back in forth is unencrypted and thus is “in the clear”. It is quite possible that this data could be intercepted by other parties while in transit and in its current state, would be open for hem to read at their leisure. One method of preventing this is through use of a technology called SFTP, or Secure File Transfer Protocol. As this is a little more complicated to configure, it will warrant a post all its own. In the meantime, see if you can figure it out from tutorials from the web and don’t send anything that you wouldn’t want anyone else to see a.k.a. documents that contain the passwords to anything
