AUTH TLS ftp client?

oscar · 2004-12-21 01:00:46

I've made my pure-ftpd work properly (with a virtual user database and ssl/tls), but I haven't been able to find any proper ftp client for the unix platform

the most important thing is AUTH TLS support!
a gtk2 interface would be nice, but it's not mandatory...

any tips?

gftp?
Dunno about auth tls, but I think it works..never tried it.

gftp was my first attempt, but it didn't had what I needed

I'm not using any ftp client with tls currently but let me search...

First this is a list and comparision of ftp clients with support for tls auth for all systems:
http://www.ford-hutchinson.com/~fh-1-pf … tml#client

These look promising:
Kermit http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck80.html
Ftp-tls (from Openbsd) http://www.runestig.com/osp.html
Kasablanca (with gui but for kde) http://kasablanca.berlios.de/features.html
Bsdftpd has cli ftps client http://bsdftpd-ssl.sc.ru/
Secureftp (Java gui) http://www.glub.com/products/secureftp/
Lftp (it should automatically recognize tls) http://lftp.yar.ru/
Iglooftp (nice gtk2 gui, commercial? closed source?) http://www.iglooftp.com/unix/download.html
Kftpgrabber (gui, kde) http://kftpgrabber.sourceforge.net/features.php
Pftp + gui clients (ncurses, gtk, qt ?) http://pftp.sourceforge.net/index.html

Tls wrapper (allows any ftp client to use tls) http://tlswrap.sunsite.dk/

BTW it's also good to read pure-ftpd readme first :-)
http://www.pureftpd.org/README.TLS (there is tested clients list)...

Maybe there are more. List of ftp clients for linux:
http://www.usinglinux.org/ftp/
http://www.linuxsoft.cz/en/sw_list.php?id_kategory=9
Maybe some of them support tls too.

Get lftp. The best graphical FTP-client I've come across so far is IglooFTP PRO. Too bad it's shareware.

I think I will try pftp, and try to make it work

lftp is a fantastic console FTP client.

thanks guys for the tip on lftp, i was getting a little tired of gftp crashes,
here is a pkgbuild for it, i just tried it a few minutes but it seems to work,

# lftp
pkgname=lftp
pkgver=3.0.13
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="lftp is a console ftp client"
url="http://lftp.yar.ru"
#license="GNU GPL"
depends=('readline')
#makedepends=()
source=(ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/net/ftp/lftp/lftp-3.0.13.tar.gz)
md5sums=('75f9861c1794a3c9cc0c9d42d3dfc7f0')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install || return 1
}

this is a must for all 1337 h4xxors!!!

lftp is already in extra(?)

xerxes2 · 2004-12-22 01:46:35

aha, i see that now, well, it only took me 2 minutes to make it so no big deal,
it's a great program with the biggest manpage i've ever seen,

Arch Linux
