ftp client - Slackware 15.0beta
I am looking for a simple ftp client, that I can use for uploads and downloads, perhaps which has a pkg, for Slackware 15.0.
After searching the distribution, and then for pkgs, tried a couple, and found they had dependencies. Rather than chase down the dependencies and compatibilities, it seemed to make sense to ask the wisdom of those who have already done the selection. Thanks. |
Hi,
I use filezilla. It only needs libfilezilla + wxGTK-3 You have a slackbuild, or if you use slackpkg+ : conraid.net (slackers) I would have preferred to use the one provided by slackware, gFTP, but the download speed is horrible. I never exceed 5 or 6MB/s, even on my local network... |
wget comes with slackware and supports ftp
wput, at slackbuilds, also supports ftp and has no dependencies just typing ftp at the cli takes you to ftp> prompt, where you can manually type commands, such as ?, which displays available commands, such as open, get, mget, put, mput, cd, ls, and many others. ftp isn't used very much anymore as there are inherent security risks because it needs wide range of open ports, and many have switched to using scp or rsync. |
Good ideas. I am set, and probably had a brain block. People can continue to post their recommendations, but for me this is SOLVED. Thanks.

wget, curl, lftp, all part of Slackware -current.
I use wget and lftp the most. Each has it's nitche. |
I like ncftp, which is part of the distribution. I use it mostly for file transfers with old PDAs like the Sharp Zaurus and trashy game consoles like Nintendo (New) 3DS and 2DS, which only ever natively supported some ancient, broken --It never worked for me even when it was new!-- version of samba for file transfers.
For more choices, try Code:
slackpkg search ftp |
There's also krusader.

Krusader??
Looked it up, and you're right. There's definitely also Krusader! :D Thanks for the tip! :hattip: |

My favourite ftp transfer tool is the FireFTP browser plugin. Originally a Firefox (legacy) plugin, menaing that it no longer works with FF 57 and above, but it's still compatible with the Waterfox, Palemoon, and Basilisk browsers.

In the past I'd always use ncftp as my cli client of choice and it's been included in Slackware since the 3.x series.
