When you need to do some serious ftp transfers and do not want to use the jack-of-all-trades web browsers to do the job, then this Java-based client is for you. It's basically a Java applet that you download and run from your desktop.
Granted, some of you may feel nervous about giving these websites the right as a proxy to your FTP account. The same can be said of any program you use to access the Internet to log into private accounts like emails and your online bank. Basically, there is no complete safe way to access the internet. You just have to keep an eye out for any suspcious programs. While it is doubtful that the people who make Firefox would send a copy of that secret log in that you did using the browser, malicious hackers out there can exploit security holes in the program to piggy back on it to steal your private info. This is why given people use web browser so much, they have to keep the programs up to date with security fixes. Incidentally, there is an extension to Firefox that acts like an FTP client. It's called Fireftp.
