gFTP is afree andopen-source multithreadedFile Transfer Protocol client program. It is most used onUnix-like systems such asLinux,macOS, andSonyPlayStation 3[citation needed]. It includes both agraphical user interface (GUI), which utilizes theGTK+ graphical toolkit, and acommand-line interface. gFTP is released under the terms of theGPL and has been translated into 45 languages.[3][4][5]
There is support for theFTP,FTPS (control connection only),HTTP,HTTPS,SFTP, andFSP protocols as well as FTP and HTTPproxy server support andFXP file transfers (transferring files between two remote servers via FTP).[5]
The GUI uses a double-paned layout, with the local filesystem in the left pane and the remote filesystem in the right pane. Below there is a transfer queue that shows the real-time status of each queued or active file transfer. At the bottom is a message log, which displays the text commands and responses between gFTP and the remote server. Sites are stored in a hierarchical collection of bookmarks, though a site bar allows connections to unbookmarked sites.[3]
Project head Brian Masney indicated in June 2013 that, with no new releases since 2008, he would like a new developer to take it over. To date no one has done so and the project remains dormant.[6]
June 2013 - It has been over five years since I last put out a new release of gFTP. I have some ideas about where I would like to see the project go, however life gets in the way. I would like to hand this project off to someone compotent. I am willing to work with you to help get you up to speed on the code base and what I think needs to be done to improve it. I would expect a few patches first to ensure interest, but after that you would be free to take the project in whatever direction that you wanted.
