[solved] Lightweight gui ftp with auth tls

Hey all , i need a lightweight ftp with gui which will be able to connect to a server with authTLS. gFTP was not successful on that , and a friend recommended crossftp which is java based and is far from light and fast.Any recommendations will be useful

Re: [solved] Lightweight gui ftp with auth tls

have you tried fireftp? I don't use ftp much but it's pretty highly recommended and I belive it will do everything you want. I'm not sure how light it is, but it integrates with firefox, so I can't see it being to much in addition.

I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.

I use fireftp with firefox. I have never had a problem with using it but I don't know whether it will do the things you need.

curlftpfs has options for TLS.  It's a command line app, but you can use it to mount the remote FTP server as a local folder.

That way you can let your desktop file manager be the GUI.  And if you're editing files on the remote server, you don't need to download a local copy to work on, then keep uploading it each time you make a change.  You can just open it in any editor you like and work on it as if it was a local file.
