The new firefox 57 has arrived. The one reason I used it was for the fireftp addon. Now this is no longer available I will not be using FF for anything at all.

I have my own website which I use mainly for emails. Also, as an extra precaution, I transfer some of my important files to the web site on a regular basis. (Yes, I also have backups.) Up to now I have used the fireftp addon for this.

However, I now have find something to replace fireftp. The obvious one is filezilla. I have used it in the past, but I do find it to be very complicated, and trying to do too many things. If necessary I will struggle with it again, but can anyone suggest another simpler ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ program to do the same thing?

Many thanks,

Filezilla is pretty much standard and the one I'd recommend. If it's too tricky for you to use, perhaps your file manager can do it? Gnome/Ubuntu based distros have a "Connect to Server" option where you can use a "ftp://user:password@xxxxxxxxxxx"; URI to connect
