FilePort Pro review
A simple web SFTP client with a free plan and focused transfer tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FilePort Pro is a browser-based FTP and SFTP client for browsing remote folders, uploading files, and downloading files without installing desktop software. It suits website administrators, server users, and people working on managed computers where software installation is unavailable. The free plan includes FTP and SFTP access, SFTP host-key verification, and browser-based file browsing and transfers. Remote-folder breadcrumbs, multi-file uploads, drag-and-drop uploads, ZIP downloads, and responsive mobile browser access keep the product focused on straightforward file movement.
Pricing is structured as a free tier followed by two paid options. Free costs $0 per month and includes the core connection and transfer functions. Pro is listed at $5 per month, billed monthly, and adds ad-free use, a zero-knowledge saved-connections vault, and automatic transfer resume. Pro Lifetime is listed at $39 as a one-time purchase with the same paid features. Pro is presented as coming soon, so the paid tier is better viewed as an option for planned access rather than an immediately established part of the workflow.
The product’s strongest fit is convenience: it runs on the web, supports mobile browsers, and provides practical transfer controls such as per-file progress, folder downloads, ZIP archives, and host-key verification. That narrow focus is useful when a lightweight browser tool is preferable to installed software. Users who need a simple way to connect, browse, upload, and download should consider FilePort Pro. Those seeking a broader desktop-client feature set or functionality beyond the listed FTP and SFTP workflow should choose an alternative.
