DESCRIPTION

       gFTP  is  a  file  transfer  client for *NIX based machines. It currently has a text interface and a GTK+
       1.2/2.x graphical interface. It currently supports the FTP, FTPS (control connection only), HTTP,  HTTPS,
       SSH and FSP protocols.

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.

       --info Display  some  information  about  how gFTP was built. Please send the output of this command when
              submitting a bug report.

       --version, -v
              Display the current version of gFTP.

       proto  This specifies the protocol that should be used. It can currently be one of the following options:
              ftp,  ftps,  http,  https, ssh, fsp, local and bookmark. If omitted, the protocol specified by the
              default_protocol option will be used.

       user   The username that will be used to log into the remote server. If omitted,  your  current  username
              will be used for most protocols. For the FTP protocol, the anonymous username will be used.

       pass   The password that will be used to log into the remote server. If omitted, you will be prompted for
              the password. If you are using the FTP protocol, and the username is anonymous,  then  your  email
              address will be used as the password.

       server The remote server to connect to.

       port   The remote port on the server to connect to. If omitted, the default port for the protocol will be
              used. The port will be looked up in the services(5) file.

       directory
              The directory to change to once you are connected to the remote server.

FILES

       ~/.gftp/gftprc
              Per user configuration file. Most of these options can be edited inside gFTP. This  file  is  also
              commented very well.  ~/.gftp/bookmarks
                     Per user bookmarks file.
