SYNOPSIS

       gftp  [options]  [[proto://][ user : [pass] @] ftp-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.

       ftp-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


       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.

       If  you find any bugs in gFTP, please report them directly
       to the author.
