13 gFTP is a multiprotocol file transfer program for X Windows and the
14 console. It features support for the FTP, SSH, HTTP, and local file
15 system protocols, simultaneous downloads, resuming of interrupted file
16 transfers, file transfer queues, downloading of entire directores, ftp
17 and http proxy support, remote directory caching, bookmarks menu, stop

21 You may enter a url on the command line that gFTP will automatically
22 connect to when it starts up.
23 --help, -h
25 Display program usage, and quit
26 --version, -v
28 This will display the current version of gFTP, and exit
29 --download, -d
31 This tells gFTP to download the files and directories specified
32 in the url passed on the command line.
33 user This is the username that you will login as to the remote site.
35 If no username is supplied, the default is to login as anony‐
36 mous.
37 pass This is the password you will use to login to the remotesite. If
39 you do not enter a password, then gFTP will ask you for one when
40 it starts up. I do not recommend entering your password on the
41 command prompt. Anyone that has access to your machine will be
42 able to see your username and password with the ps(1) command.
43 If you are logging in as anonymous, you do not need to pass a
44 password since gFTP will automatically send your email address
45 as your password.
46 site This is the remote site you want to connect to
48 port This is the port that the remote server is listening on. If you
50 do not enter a port, it will default to using the ftp port
51 listed in the services(5) file. If the entry doesn't exist
52 there, it will default to port 21.
53 directory
55 This is the default directory to change to once you are con‐
56 nected to the remote server.
57
59 ~/.gftp/gftprc
60 Per user configuration file. This file is commented very well,
61 so that is why there isn't a manpage for it. Most of the options
62 in here can be set inside gFTP itself.
63
65 If you find any bugs in gFTP, please report them directly to the
66 author.
