GNOME FTP (gFTP) is a multithreaded file transfer client. It supports
FTP, FTPS (control connection only), HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, and FSP protocols.
Furthermore, it allows the transfer of files between two remote FTP
servers via FXP. To start GNOME FTP, press <span class="keycap">Alt</span>+<span class="keycap">F2</span> and enter
<span class="command"><strong>gftp</strong></span>.

There are two common ways of transferring files via FTP: ASCII and
binary. <span class="emphasis"><em>ASCII</em></span> mode transfers files as text. ASCII
files are <code class="filename">.txt</code>, <code class="filename">.asp</code>,
<code class="filename">.html</code>, and <code class="filename">.php</code> files, for
example. <span class="emphasis"><em>Binary</em></span> mode transfers files as raw data.
Binary files are <code class="filename">.wav</code>, <code class="filename">.jpg</code>,
<code class="filename">.gif</code>, and <code class="filename">mp3</code> files, for
example.
</p><p>
To change the transfer mode click <span class="guimenu">FTP</span> and choose
<span class="guimenu">Binary</span> or <span class="guimenu">Ascii</span>.</p><p>
When transferring ASCII files from Linux/Unix to Windows or vice versa,
check the option <span class="guimenu">FTP</span>+<span class="guimenu">Options</span>+<span class="guimenu">FTP</span>+<span class="guimenu">Transfer Files
in ASCII Mode</span> to ensure that newline characters
are correctly converted. This option will automatically be disabled in
Binary mode.

Connecting to a Remote Server<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#sec.gnome.gftp.connect">¶</a></span></h2></div></div></div><p>
To connect to a remote server, do the following:
</p><div class="procedure"><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li><p>
In GNOME FTP, click <span class="guimenu">Remote</span>+<span class="guimenu">Open URL...</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Specify a URL to connect to, then enter a username and password.
</p><p>
Specify a URL to connect to, then enter a username and password. Leave
the username blank to log in as an anonymous user.
</p></li><li><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Connect</span>.
</p><p>
If connection is successful, a list of the files on the remote server
appears in the right part of the GNOME FTP window (the file list on the
left side is your local computer's directory of files). You can now
upload and download files via drag and drop or by using the arrow
buttons.
</p></li></ol></div><p>
To bookmark a site you access frequently, click <span class="guimenu">Bookmarks</span>+<span class="guimenu">Add Bookmark</span>. Specify a name for the bookmark, then click
<span class="guimenu">Add</span>. The new bookmark is added to your list of
bookmarks.

In the following figure, the file list on the right contains the remote
server's directory of files. The file list on the left side contains your
local computer's directory of files (on your hard drive or network).

To download files, select the files you want to download in the remote
list of files, then click the left arrow button. The progress of each
download is listed in the field in the middle of the window. If the
transfer is successful, the files appear in the directory listing on the
left.

To upload a file, select the files you want to upload in your local
directory listing on the left, then click the right arrow button. The
progress of each download is listed in the field in the middle of the

<span class="guimenu">Proxy Server Type</span> drop-down list.
</p></li><li><p>
Click the <span class="guimenu">HTTP</span> tab, and enter the same proxy server
information as above in the dialog box. Note that port numbers for ftp
