Author(s): MARTIN STEIGERWALD
Whether you like your file transfers with a GUI or from a command prompt, GFTP has the right tool for every job.The GFTP client also supports advanced features such as secure file transfer with SSH.
GFTP is a versatile and efficient File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client for Linux systems. GFTP, which was written by Brian Masney, performs all the standard chores associated with downloading and uploading files to FTP servers, and it also offers additional services, such as HTTP file transfer, SSHbased file transfer, and simultaneous download from multiple servers. The GFTP program provides several useful features that add efficiency to your FTP sessions, such as drag and drop, intelligent prompting for existing files, direct input for FTP commands, and direct transfer between two FTP servers. GFTP comes in two flavors: the gftp-gtk variant supports convenient GUI-based file transfers, whereas gftptext is a text-based FTP client used with the shell. If you type gftp, your system may launch either the X11 version or the text version, depending on how your system is configured.
