Re: Alternatives to gftp in Jessie

[Wilko Fokken]

I use the Midnight Commander: 'mc'
(Linux substitute for the OLD Norton Commander)

Via it's sftp-switch (under the menu key: 'F9', click on 'SFTP link'),
it opens it's split screen to another computer.

login example: anonymous@ --> password: 

--> same procedure as local work.

OK!

I searched ftp clients and met the following programs:

bareftp
filezilla
ftpcopy
ncftp

Does anyone have any tip about an FTP client, with GUI, equivalent to gftp?

Thanks,
Markos

I haven't used gftp in a long time. These days I just use the default
file manager (nautilus, dolphin, thunar, etc.) with whatever desktop
environment I'm using. All of them have adequate FTP support.


Thanks for the contributions.

And especially for information that I can use the file manager as an FTP 
client. I didn't know.


Thank you,
Markos

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gftp
shows, that `gftp' is in wheezy, and all the same in stretch --- v2.0.19

FWIW, you may have a temporary /etc/apt/sources.list having only a
stretch main  line like this:
deb http:///debian/ stretch main
^^^ This is your mirror url!
Preserve it. Please dont copy from here!

and run `apt-get update` and `apt-get install gftp` as root.

And then restore the original sources.list back in place.

If you favor gui, you may use a combination of gedit and synaptic or
else, just as you please.

Others have spoken the worth of Filezilla, and its memory footprint as
well. If you are even a little bit text oriented, try lftp, it has a
highly user-friendly (text) interface.

Filezilla should be OK. It's big and heavy, but if you have a desktop
computer, it shouldn't be a problem. I use gftp on Linux and FZ on
Windows, I'm not a demanding user but they seem much the same to me.

I chose Filezilla.  Works nicely.

For my occasional usage of (S)FTP, Filezilla does the job well.
