What FilePort Pro is
FilePort Pro is a browser-based FTP and SFTP client for connecting to servers, browsing files, and transferring them without installing software. Its file list shows folders, sizes, types, and modification times, with sortable columns and breadcrumb navigation. Users can upload multiple files, drag and drop, download individual files, or download a folder as a ZIP archive. Per-file transfer progress is shown with byte counts. For SFTP, the client displays and remembers a server’s host-key fingerprint, and blocks a connection after a key change until the user confirms it. Credentials pass through the service’s server for connections, but remain in memory during a session and are not written to disk, stored in a database, or logged. Sessions end when disconnected or after about 15 minutes idle. The Free plan permits transfers up to 4 GiB and two concurrent sessions per IP, without saved connections. Pro costs $5 a month and adds a saved-connections vault encrypted before reaching the service, automatic resume, and a 64 GiB transfer limit. The service recommends SFTP because FTP is unencrypted by design.
