Your right, it is windows only.. I swear it said somewhere that it was for *nix as well....

anyways, this KDevelop looks pretty cool, I'll have to try it out once school it finished.

gFTP an FTP GUI, very simple and straight forward to use.

June 29th, 2004, 7:53 pm

IMO gftp is pretty terrible. It doesn't even have an 'auto' transfer mode. It's terrible for transferring lots of files.

IMO the best linux FTP client out there is IglooFTP
