2 .SH NAME
3 gftp - a graphical ftp client
4 .SH SYNOPSIS
5 .B gftp [options] [[proto://][

7 .B :
8 .I [pass]

16 .SH DESCRIPTION
17 gFTP is a multiprotocol file transfer program for X Windows 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
18 .SH OPTIONS
19 You may enter a url on the command line that gFTP will automatically connect
20 to when it starts up.
21 .IP "\-\-help, \-h"
22 Display program usage, and quit
23 .IP "\-\-version, \-v"
24 This will display the current version of gFTP, and exit
25 .IP "\-\-download, \-d"
26 This tells gFTP to download the files and directories specified in the url passed on the command line.
27 .IP user
28 This is the username that you will login as to the remote site. If no username
29 is supplied, the default is to login as anonymous.
30 .IP pass
31 This is the password you will use to login to the remotesite. If you do not
32 enter a password, then gFTP will ask you for one when it starts up. I do not
33 recommend entering your password on the command prompt. Anyone that has
34 access to your machine will be able to see your username and password with
35 the
36 .BR ps(1)
37 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 password.
38 .IP site
39 This is the remote site you want to connect to
40 .IP port
41 This is the port that the remote server is listening on. If you do not
42 enter a port, it will default to using the ftp port listed in the
43 .BR services(5)
44 file. If the entry doesn't exist there, it will default to port
45 21.
46 .IP directory
47 This is the default directory to change to once you are connected to the
48 remote server.
49 .SH FILES
50 .I ~/.gftp/gftprc
51 .RS
52 Per user configuration file. This file is commented very well, so that is
53 why there isn't a manpage for it. Most of the options in here can be set
54 inside gFTP itself.
55 .SH BUGS
56 If you find any bugs in gFTP, please report them directly to the author.
