There are many FTP clients around these days. Most are console based, some
feature a graphical user interface. What most clients are missing is support
for latest or not so common technologies like ZeroConf, TLS/SSL or FXP (just
to name a few), accompanied by a decent user interface, that tries to support
the user instead of frustrating him.
KFTPGrabber tries to make a complete FTP client solution with support for
plugins, scripting and everything else the users needs, based on the
latest technologies KDE provides.
Here are some of the features:
- Multiple FTP sessions (tabs)
- Transfer queue
- TLS/SSL support for encrypted connections (implicit and explicit)
- Partial X509 certificate support for authentication
- FXP transfer support (site-to-site)
- OTP (one time password) support - s/key, md5, rmd160, sha1
- Drag&Drop support
- Site bookmarking
- Encrypted bookmark support (password can be saved to KWallet)
- Distributed FTP support (PRET)
- SSCN and CPSV support
- Skiplist
- ZeroConf (aka. Rendezvous) support for local site discovery
- Bookmark sharing with Kopete contacts (KDE >= 3.3)
- Bookmark import plugins
- Support for SFTP protocol [experimental]
