For plain-old FTP, I also vote for ncftp. I agree with others who suggested SFTP for file transfers with qemu guests that have SSH v2 support (which is what I use for my FreeBSD/OpenBSD guests).
At some point direct file sharing with qemu guests will be possible (like on Parallels) because qemu now has 9pfs file sharing support for MacOS hosts and many guests have (like Linux) or are adding (like FreeBSD) 9pfs support. > On Aug 24, 2022, at 11:32, Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate via macports-users > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I like ncftp for command line use.
