I like command-line ftp, ala sftp (secure) or ncftp (lots of options). You might like gftp (Gnome Ftp).

I use ncftp. It's command-line (as stated above) and it's always been great for me. Has everything I need, nothing I don't.

there's also KBear from the KDE project. i recall it's the closest to a program like CuteFTP.

or you could use Konqueror:

ftp://user@server.domain.location:port
eg:
ftp://boujr@imaginary.server.dk:21

("port 21" is default so you don't need to type it in if it don't differ from 21)

OK, i tried that kbear one since im on KDE and such(didnt know if it mattered) plus you said its prob the closest to cuteftp.


Well, i got it downloaded and installed no problem. Even got connected to my site without a prob. Only thing is, i cant transfer.... Ive only tried uploading but it didnt work.

It just sat there and did nothing. I couldnt find any 'start transfers' button or anything like that so i just disconnected and closed it out to cancel the transfer. Well now i cant connect to the site anymore lol. I think the first connection is still going and therfore blocking out any others...


any ideas?
