Free ftp software for linux

Secure FTP is a client application that allows for a 128-bit encrypted secure connection to be made to a server that supports FTP over SSL (or FTPS).
The application can be run via its graphical user interface (GUI) or from the command-line interface (CLI), allowing for headless (scriptable) operation. This makes Secure FTP a great option for both novice and advanced users.
The client is fully RFC 2228 compliant and offers both types of SSL connection options: explicit and implicit, which means more server compatibility.
Secure FTP is free to use for noncommercial use. Those wishing to use the client for commercial purposes are granted a license free of charge for 30 days.
The client is supported on Windows, Mac OS X, and any Unix platform where a Java 2 runtime environment (version 1.4+) is present. It was written in 100% pure Java.
Enhancements:
- The software was translated into French.
- Minor bug fixes and library updates were done.

FTP Monitor is a simple panel applet, which monitors incoming connections to ftpd(vsftpd/ncftpd/pure-ftpd/proftpd) and generates passive popups.
For pure-ftpd, ncftpd, proftpd it acts as a frontend to pure-ftpwho, ncftpd_spy and ftpwho respectively. For vsftpd, it looks in output of ps -fe.
Enhancements:
- Update the change in ftp daemon (or path) withour requiring a restart
- Fixed the bug (introduced in 0.70) that FTP status will not update
- For large panels, the icon is now centered

Distributed FTP is a distributed FTP daemon written in java. Instead of usual and well-known serversclient transfer it uses masterclient for control connections and slaveclient for (most) data transfers, the master must tell the slave to initiate/respond to a transfer.

ftp-outboxd provides a FTP outgoing spool handler.

ftp-outboxd sends files and directories placed in certain folders to other hosts. It can handle any number of spools, and can send to multiple hosts for each spool.

It can also recursively handle subdirectories placed in the outgoing "hot folders".

It deletes pending files upon successful transfer, and preserves and retries upon failure.

Installation requires an edit of "ftp-outboxd" itself, and the change of three global variables, "CONFIG", "LOGFILE", and "PIDFILE", to point to where the configuration file, logfile and pid file should be location on your installation.

Except if a global variable, DEBUG, is turned on, runs as a daemon. Please see "etc/outboxd.conf.example" for configuration file documentation.

Pure FTP Manager allows a user to access multiple FTP chrooted sites with a single username and password. The program uses pure-ftpd and PostgreSQL for FTP and authentication. A site is chosen by adding @sitename to the users login

Web-FTP 1.5.x introduces Crytpo Card support, and also some support for connecting to MS ftp servers.

Crypto card support allows people to connect to ftp servers that use crypto card security. Lemme know if it works for you.

Web-FTP is a fully featured ftp client designed for secure file management when used in conjunction with an SSL enabled web server.

As a secondary function it can serve as an FTP client for users whos firewalls block FTP, since all communication is through the HTTP protocol.

Once you log in to Web-FTP it retains a session, which runs locally on your server, subsequent calls to the cgi (with the proper cookie) reconnect you to your session, therefore maintaining state.

Since everything passes through a cgi, if you put that CGI on a secure web-server you will have secure ftp (as long as the ftp is the same machine as the http server, or is behind a firewall).

DPS-FTP is a multi-threaded FTP client for GNOME. It was originally called Kevlar FTP, since its interface was inspired by Bulletproof FTP, and Kevlar is bullet-proof.
But DuPont actually sent me a notice telling me that I cant use their trademarked product names in my product name. They were generous enough to allow me to say that my product contains Kevlar, however.
After explaining to them that, being software, my "product" does not contain Kevlar, and that Im not making any money from the "product", they still would not let me use it. So, I renamed the program to DuPont Sucks FTP, or DPS-FTP.
Main features:
- Basic FTP features: browsing local and remote directories
- Powerful transfer queue that allows downloading and uploading multiple files to multiple sites in multiple directories in any order
- Caching of directory listings
- Fully multi-threaded
- Multiple connections in separate windows
- Site manager

AxY FTP is a Gtk based FTP client. AxY FTP can be build with either Motif or GTK+ 1.0/1.2 for interface.
Lesstif is also supported.

./configure
make
make install (or make install-strip)

Name of the executable is "axyftp".

You may want to run "./configure --help" first to learn about all available
options. One of the most important are:
--with-gui=GUI where GUI is either motif or gtk. By default, configure
script first searches for Motif installation and, if not
found, for GTK.
--with-help=DIR where DIR is a directory you want to have help files
installed into.

Please not that if you are building Motif version, CDE DtWidget library is
needed. Pretty workable clone is supplied with the distribution in case you
dont have one installed. Also, XmAxy library containing Notebook and enhanced
List Motif-based widgets is also supplied. Libraries are not installed by
default. Use "./configure --enable-install-dt --enable-install-xmaxy" to
install them.

Also, you may find various AxY FTP logo icons in XPM format in icons/
subdirectory.
