- Log in without cookies or storing anything in a database or elsewhere – the data is kept only in the session, so it has a much shorter lifetime
- Log out
- Load the contents of an FTP folder
- Browse the folder hierarchy up or down using links
- Display the contents of an FTP file with syntax highlighting
The following languages and extensions are supported for syntax highlighting:
- PHP –
.php - C++ –
.cpp,.h - CSS –
.css - C# –
.cs - Java –
.java - JavaScript –
.js - TypeScript –
.ts - Python –
.py - SQL –
.sql - XML –
.xml - HTML –
.html,.htm - ASP.NET Web Form –
.aspx
If a file has none of the extensions listed above, the plain text highlighter is used. That means no highlighting, but with line numbers. The program cannot yet open a specific subfolder/path right after you open it. However, nothing stops you from clicking your way to that path the first time and then bookmarking it.

I also tried Rapid PHP and PhpStorm, but I could not get debugging working there, and debugging is the most important thing for me. The syntax highlighting then looks something like this:
