Public bug reported: I've noticed, that in Ubuntu main there is only one, buggy (look at lots of crash-reports in launchpad) and unmaintained graphical ftp client - gftp. Gftp was abandoned by upstream - the latest version is almost 2 year old ! Besides this, gftp is not user-friendly :(
I think, that such buggy and unmaintained software shouldn't be in Ubuntu main, gftp should be removed from the main. Better ftp client, like filezilla (look at http://www.filezilla-project.org ) could be in the main instead. Filezilla is very popular on Windows OS and upcoming version - 3.0 is multiplatform, there are already debian packages in unstable since late October 2006. ** Affects: gftp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- gftp should be removed from ubuntu main and filezilla ftp client could be in the main https://launchpad.net/bugs/72184 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
