Abstract
GNOME FTP (gFTP) is a multithreaded file transfer client. It supports FTP, FTPS (control connection only), HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, and FSP protocols. Futhermore, it allows the transfer of files between two remote FTP servers via FXP. To start GNOME FTP, press Alt+F2 and enter gftp.
There are two common ways of transferring files via FTP: ASCII and binary.
ASCII mode transfers files as text. ASCII files are
.txt, .asp, .html, and
.php files, for example. Binary mode transfers files
as raw data. Binary files are .wav, .jpg,
.gif, and mp3 files, for example.
To change the transfer mode, either click + or +.
For FTP transfers, you can also choose +, click the FTP tab, and select the option.
