Would you trust this web site?

So my crappy mobile internet connection blocks all non-HTTP ports (thanks!) and I can't use FTP on it.

This is a pain, until I discovered this site: http://www.net2ftp.com

But I'm a leetle bit nervous about typing my FTP login details into it, in case it's run by hackers and they're logging the details. And I can't see any well known company behind it in an About page etc.

Would you trust this site for your FTP? Or can you recommend a web-based FTP service that you know is trustworthy?

Thanks...

Its often recommended on various sites, and I've used it several times before and had no harm from it. I say go for it.

Thanks. It was the top hit on Google for "web based ftp", so I'd guess if it were malicious it wouldn't really be there. Glad to know you've tried it and not died afterwards!

I've used net2ftp before, and I have never had any problems... I use FireFTP for Firefox these days, it's much quicker than net2ftp and it's safe (As far as I know)
