What is Direct FTP?

Don’t let the name fool you: Direct FTP is way more than just an FTP app. Sure, it transfers files at don’t-blink-or-you’ll-miss-it speeds, but it’s also a complete web design toolbox. Use it to make last‐minute edits, preview and organize your files, and back everything up, just in case. It’s the only FTP app with a built-in web editor that lets you work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and more. With such stellar features, no wonder it leads the pack.
