Monsta FTP is a lightweight open-source FTP client you can install on your server to manage your files through any browser, and free yourself from desktop software, forever!

Monsta FTP is a web-based FTP client, developed in PHP & AJAX, you can use to manage your website through your browser, edit code, upload and download files, copy/move/delete files and folders - all without installing any desktop software.

Monsta FTP allows you to upload multiple zip archives and extract them easily on server. It also features a developer-friendly text editor.

Why is it better than desktop FTP software?

Monsta FTP is your file manager in the cloud. Traditionally, FTP software is downloaded and/or purchased and installed on the user's desktop. Every time a user upgrades their desktop this process needs to be repeated.

In situations where you're using a third-party desktop, such as at an Internet cafe, you may not be able to install your own software. With Monsta FTP you can access your install from any device, anywhere.

Is it secure?

We recommend using your Monsta FTP install over SSL to protect your data while transiting your network, however FTP itself is not secure, so we always recommend using Monsta FTP's SFTP/SCP (secure FTP) connection option, where possible.
