Free ftp software for linux

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.
Main features:
- 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

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

Main features:
- Uploads / downloads files

- AWT components for browsing files and directories

auto_ftp.pl came to be because I wanted to make a ftp client daemon that could be loaded on a server. When you load this script, it will search for a shared folder for ftp transfers. Currently it will recreate folder and files on the remote site or just files. It also should transfer the file as ASCII or binary depending on the file type.
I do not have a install program as of yet. You must first change a few options in auto_ftp.pl and the conf file before you can use this program. More info can be found in each file. To install the
software move auto_ftp.pl to /sbin and them move auto_ftp.conf to /etc.
Also make sure that you use the following commands on the files.
chmod 700 /sbin/auto_ftp.pl
chmod 600 /etc/auto_ftp.conf
You must create this dir first
chmod 700 /tmp/ftp_tmp
You will also need to have libnet perl modules installed. They may
be downloaded from.
This is the version i used to write auto_ftp so it will work. If there
is anyproblems with newer versions please let me know.
Enhancements:
- Added a option for port for each site in the config file. If its not defined it will use 21 as the default. Also did some code cleanup.

KuFtp is a graphical FTP client for the K Desktop Environment. The project is written in C++ using the QT/KDE libraries.

It implements many features required for usable FTP interaction. Most notable features is Tab Sessions like Konqueror or Firefox, that is,you can have multiple simultaneous FTP session in separate tabs.

Other features like bookmark manager,history recording,queue manager and some small nifty features are currently available in the latest version.

oftpd provides yet another anonymous FTP server.
oftpd is designed to be as secure as an anonymous FTP server can possibly be.
It runs as non-root for most of the time, and uses the Unix chroot() command to hide most of the systems directories from external users--they cannot change into them even if the server is totally compromised.
It also contains its own directory-change and directory-listing code (most FTP servers execute the system "ls" command to list files).
Enhancements:
- Philippe Oechslin discovered a DoS vulnerability. - Fixed

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).

Net::FTP is a FTP Client class. Net::FTP is a class implementing a simple FTP client in Perl as described in RFC959. It provides wrappers for a subset of the RFC959 commands.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is a way of transferring files between networked machines. The protocol defines a client (whose commands are provided by this module) and a server (not implemented in this module). Communication is always initiated by the client, and the server responds with a message and a status code (and sometimes with data).

The FTP protocol allows files to be sent to or fetched from the server. Each transfer involves a local file (on the client) and a remote file (on the server). In this module, the same file name will be used for both local and remote if only one is specified. This means that transferring remote file /path/to/file will try to put that file in /path/to/file locally, unless you specify a local file name.

The protocol also defines several standard translations which the file can undergo during transfer. These are ASCII, EBCDIC, binary, and byte. ASCII is the default type, and indicates that the sender of files will translate the ends of lines to a standard representation which the receiver will then translate back into their local representation.

EBCDIC indicates the file being transferred is in EBCDIC format. Binary (also known as image) format sends the data as a contiguous bit stream. Byte format transfers the data as bytes, the values of which remain the same regardless of differences in byte size between the two machines (in theory - in practice you should only use this if you really know what youre doing).

Installation:

In order to use this package you will need Perl version 5.002 or better. You install libnet, as you would install any perl module library, by running these commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If you want to install a private copy of libnet in your home directory, then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with something like this command:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl

The Makefile.PL program will start out by checking your perl installation for a few packages that are recommended to be installed together with libnet. These packages should be available on CPAN (described above).
