success story plus a question
 

Hi.. I finally deleted my windowsXP partition; it was like cutting an umbilical cord! I feel so free now. I am on Linux 24-7 now and I am totally addicted!!

Being that there is so much free software for linux I am having a hard time finding the ones I like. I am looking for a GUI ftp client. I totally hate gftp. I downloaded IglooFtp and dig it, but it is shareware :(. Can someone recommend me an good (configureable) ftp client.

Also freshmeat.net and sourceforge are great!! is there a way to browse software so that I can see which is the most popular or has been downloaded the most? can you give me links to other popular download sites?

It's saturday and I am not going to go out tonight! i am going to spend it here with my box! it's like having a new computer (cough.. girlfriend)..yes I'm a geek..

I don't know why you don't like gftp - I use either that or the cli.

As for the most popular software then take a look at the left hand side of sourceforge.net

I just use gftp but I only upload measly webpages so it is fine for me.
A buddy of mine spent time trying out a bunch of different ones and he found the same thing - they all uploaded slow as hell.
Have you thought about running something thru wine?

That sounds much more like a network issue than the clietns fault.

i don't know which ones have gui's and which ones don't or if all do, but heres a little list of some ftp servers that you can look up and experiment with..
1) pure-ftpd.
2) vsftpd.
3) wu-ftpd.
4) proftpd.
5) gl-ftpd.
6) PublicFile.

hahah sorry my bad...i just re-read i realized you wanted a client, so here is a list of gui clients..
1) Gftp.
2) Dpsftp.
3) KBear.
4) IglooFTP
5) Nftp.
6) Wxftp.
7) AxyFTP.
8) mc. (cd ftp://...)
