Q

What are the requirements to run gFTP?

A

GFTP is a free/open source multithreaded File Transfer Protocol client program. It is most used on Unix-like systems, such as Linux, Mac OS X and Sony PlayStation 3. It includes both a graphical user interface, which utilizes the GTK+ graphical toolkit and a command-line interface.

Q

What systems is gFTP known to run on?

A

I develop gFTP on a Debian GNU/Linux machine. It should run under any other Linux distributions. Here is a list of other platforms I have received successful compile reports:

FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD/BSDI

Solaris

IRIX

Digital UNIX

HP/UX 11

Q

How do I force running the text or gtk+ version of gFTP?

A

To run the text port, you can type gftp-text or to run the gtk+ port, you can run the gftp-gtk. The gftp command is just a shell script that checks if your DISPLAY variable is set, and if so it'll run the appropriate version.

Q

Where does gFTP store it's options?

A

gFTP will automatically create a ~/.gftp directory when it is first to run. Your config file is ~/.gftp/gftprc, and this is where all of gFTP's settings are stored. The config file is well commented, so take a glance at it and see if there is anything you want to change. Your bookmarks are stored in the file ~/.gftp/bookmarks.

Every time gFTP is run, it will log the contents of the log window to ~/.gftp/gftp.log. The contents of this file will be automatically purged this file when gFTP is started up.

Q

How can I increase the size of the fonts in gFTP?

A

You can use the gnome-font-properties program to change the fonts used by all GTK+ 2.x applications.
