SYNOPSISgftp [options] [[proto://][ user : [pass] @] site [: port
][/ directory ]]
DESCRIPTION
gFTP is a multiprotocol file transfer program for X Win
dows and the console. It features support for the FTP,
SSH, HTTP, and local file system protocols, simultaneous
downloads, resuming of interrupted file transfers, file
transfer queues, downloading of entire directores, ftp and
http proxy support, remote directory caching, bookmarks
menu, stop button and many more features
OPTIONS
You may enter a url on the command line that gFTP will
automatically connect to when it starts up.
--help, -h
Display program usage, and quit
--version, -v
This will display the current version of gFTP, and
exit
--download, -d
This tells gFTP to download the files and directo
ries specified in the url passed on the command
line.
user This is the username that you will login as to the
remote site. If no username is supplied, the
default is to login as anonymous.
pass This is the password you will use to login to the
remotesite. If you do not enter a password, then
gFTP will ask you for one when it starts up. I do
not recommend entering your password on the command
prompt. Anyone that has access to your machine will
be able to see your username and password with the
ps(1) command. If you are logging in as anonymous,
you do not need to pass a password since gFTP will
automatically send your email address as your pass
word.
site This is the remote site you want to connect to
port This is the port that the remote server is listen
ing on. If you do not enter a port, it will default
to using the ftp port listed in the services(5)
file. If the entry doesn't exist there, it will
default to port 21.
directory
This is the default directory to change to once you
are connected to the remote server.
FILES
~/.gftp/gftprc
Per user configuration file. This file is commented
very well, so that is why there isn't a manpage for
it. Most of the options in here can be set inside
gFTP itself.
BUGS
If you find any bugs in gFTP, please report them directly
to the author.
