NAME
    gftp - a graphical ftp client

SYNOPSIS
    gftp [options] [[proto://][ user : [pass] @] site [: port ][/ directory
    ]]

DESCRIPTION
    gFTP is a multiprotocol file transfer program for X Windows and the
    console.  It features support for the FTP, SSH, HTTP, and local file
    system protocols, simultaneous downloads, resuming of interrupted file
    transfers, file transfer queues, downloading of entire directores, ftp
    and http proxy support, remote directory caching, bookmarks menu, stop
    button and many more features

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, and quit

    --version, -v
    This will display the current version of gFTP, and exit

    --download, -d
    This tells gFTP to download the files and directories specified
    in the url passed on the command line.

    user  This is the username that you will login as to the remote site.
    If no username is supplied, the default is to login as anony-
    mous.

    pass  This is the password you will use to login to the remotesite. If
    you do not enter a password, then gFTP will ask you for one when
    it starts up. I do not recommend entering your password on the
    command prompt. Anyone that has access to your machine will be
    able to see your username and password with the ps(1) command.
    If you are logging in as anonymous, you do not need to pass a
    password since gFTP will automatically send your email address
    as your password.

    site  This is the remote site you want to connect to

    port  This is the port that the remote server is listening on. If you
    do not enter a  port, it will default to using the ftp port
    listed in the services(5)  file. If the  entry doesn't  exist
    there, it will default to port 21.

    directory
    This is the default directory to change to once you are con-
    nected to the remote server.

FILES
    ~/.gftp/gftprc
    Per user configuration file. This file is commented very  well,
    so that is why there isn't a manpage for it. Most of the options
    in here can be set inside gFTP itself.

BUGS
    If you find any bugs in gFTP, please report them directly to the
    author.
