gFTP is a free/open source multithreaded FTP client. It includes both a GUI (which utilizes the GTK+) and a command-line interface. Sites are stored in a hierarchical collection of bookmarks.
The GUI uses a familiar double-paned layout, with the local filesystem in the left pane and the remote filesystem in the right pane. Below these panes resides a transfer queue that shows the real-time status of each queued or active file transfer. Below that is a message log, which displays the text commands and responses between gFTP and the remote server.
gFTP is included with most distributions.
Features include:
- Supports the FTP, FTPS (control connection only), HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, and FSP protocols.
- FTP and HTTP proxy server support.
- Supports FXP file transfers (transferring files between 2 remote servers via FTP).
- Supports UNIX, EPLF, Novell, MacOS, VMS, MVS and NT (DOS) style directory listings.
- Bookmarks menu to allow you to quickly connect to remote sites.
- An internal program for viewing files.
- Fully Internationalized. Translated into: Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Azerbaijan, Bangla, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Macedonian, Malayalam, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian.
