Free ftp software software for linux

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

lftpsearch is a set of Perl scripts that are searching for files and directories on FTP servers. There is the searcher, the indexer for getting the lists of all the files and directories at remote FTP servers, and the onliner for checking whether FTP servers are online.

It supports (or >) and in search queries, page splitting at search results, searching on online servers only, searching for files/directories only, searching for size limited files, caching, and Russian names.

lftpsearch program also shows some statistics on servers (files/directories amount, total size). Initially, it was created to be used over LANs.

FTP SyncAgent is a software that keeps a local folder and a remote FTP folder in sync. All what you need to do is to create a Java properties file (explained here) and start it.

Currently there is only a console-based UI and you will be asked for files to download/upload or remove.

Later on, I will provide a more intelligent agent module which can be pre-configured for common descision patterns and which will be able to choose automatically what to do. Thus, the agent should be able to run as a cron job and periodically check for required updates.

Quick Start

1. Download the latest release of FTP SyncAgent and the two dependent libraries: Jakarta Commons Net and ORO (you will only need the two JAR files commons-net-[version].jar and jakarta-oro-[version].jar).
2. Create a properties (config) file for each directory to sync, e.g. syncedFolder.properties and save it somewhere, lets say in /home/myUser/syncedFolder.properties. The file should contain at least the following lines (you can copy it from here!):

host=ftp.theFTPserver.com
port=21
user=myUserName
pass=myPassword
remoteFolder=absolutePathToTheLocalFolderToSync
localFolder=relativePathToTheRemoteFolderToSync
verbose=true
passive=true
ignore=.backup .bak ~

The host, port, user, and pass properties should be clear, the remoteFolder is the path to the remote folder relative to the FTP home directory (e.g. /mySyncedFiles), the localFolder is the absolute directory path to the local folder to be synced (e.g. /home/myUser/aFolderToSync). The property verbose is just for a more detailed output to the shell when sychronising, passive will enable (or disable) a passive connection to the server (if you are behind a firewall our gateway router), and using ignore you can specify file suffices to exclude.
3. Setup the classpath or specify it when starting (as shown here at the next step). The classpath must contain the two dependent JARs as described under requirements and the FTP SyncAgent JAR file ftpsyncagent.jar.
4. Now you can run FTP SyncAgent with the following command (you must adjust the path to the JAR files according to your directory structure! Create a shell script or batch file for an easier startup):

java -cp /opt/javalibs/ftpsyncagent.jar:/opt/javalibs/commons-net-1.4.1.jar:
/opt/javalibs/jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar at.langegger.ftpsa.SyncAgent
/home/myUser/syncedFolder.properties

The basic usage is:

java -cp [jar-files] at.langegger.ftpsa.SyncAgent [custom properties-file]

5. Thats all. For any questions, contact me (via e-mail, address below).

PFTP is Preferred For Transfers: PFTP - PFTP is a portable FTP client. This is a portable FTP client, with many useful features, such as FXP, SSL and TLS support. PFTP is made of two libraries and a diversity of user interfaces, for maximal portability.

- Support for: Implicit/Explicit SSL and TLS, FXP and multiple servers connected at the same time.
- Queues.
- Mirroring.
- Masked upload and download.
- Multiple UI:s (CLI, GTK+, Qt etc.).
- Site management (ie. bookmarks.).
Enhancements:
- Changed configure to match configure for pftp-cli

Thin FTP Upload project is an FTP upload applet designed for integration with Web applications.
Do you want to quickly add FTP file upload functionality to your website? Then Thin FTP Applet, a product that can be installed in less than 2 minutes is the product to choose.
To send files using the File Transfer Protocol, all your users have to do is to drag and drop them onto the designated area of the browser. Entire directory tree and a virtually unlimited number of files totalling several giga bytes can be transfered in this manner.
If your server is configued to allow annoymous transfers your users dont even have to login. Else they can login interactively by entering their username and password. Or else you can make it easier for them by using a single predefined username and password for each user so that multiple accounts do not have to be created.
Whats New in 1.02 Stable Release:
- The new version of the applet aims for improved compatibility with a wider range of FTP servers, epecially those servers deployed on Windows.
- The new version includes a subtle change in the way that the applet handles the trailing slash in the URL.
Whats New in 2.0 Development Release:
- Interrupted FTP uploads can now be resumed.
- A new progress monitor has been added.
- The applet loading mechanism has been changed, and the applet can now be configured using HTML parameters.

Free Open FTP Face is a graphical FTP client, written in Python.

Free Open FTP Face is a lightweight graphical (GTK+) FTP client. It is multiplatform, easy to use, has a built in text viewer, image viewer (very fast), and one-click gzip (de)/compression. Although it is a functional GUI, you can also input OS and FTP commands.

Its emphasis is on simplicity, convenience, and ease of use. Many free FTP clients for Windows lack the clean, uncluttered interface that gFTP on Linux has, for example.

The idea behind the built-in text and image viewers, is that regardless of the operating system, you can instantly view text and image files since theres no overhead from loading an external program.

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.

vvFTP is a simple ftp client application written in C++.

Its a console program and can run only on Linux/Solaris for now.The design is simple and extensible. Adding a GUI should not be too
much work.

vvFTP is currently in an advanced stage of development. It has most
of the main protocol features [put, get, mget, mput, pasv mode etc].

Almost all the features of a good ftp client are in now. Stuff like
get, put, mget, mput, reconnection, passive mode connection etc.

1) .netrc [macdef init] support is not there currently.
2) memory checks have to be done - purify, yamd or valgrind
