Question

I know similar questions were already asked and answered, but not exactly the same.

I'm looking for a FTP client that can do TLS/SSL connection and SFTP aswell on Linux with a nice GUI. This is main requirement, though tabbed session are a plus.

FTPRush is my idol for FTP-ing on Windows, something similar on linux would be a rockstar.

Was it helpful?

OTHER TIPS

If you use Gnome, then I'd recommend just using Nautilus. It will do at SFTP and FTP, I'm not sure about FTP with SSL. It will also do tabs.

Konqueror can do SFTP as well as ftp over ssh.

FireFTP firefox extension.

Try CrossFTP

Wikipedia shows ( that table ) with "Information about what internet protocols the clients support" and (another one) with "The operating systems the clients can run on." Just merge it!

HTH and Good luck!

gFTP should do as well

A couple of possibles.

Kasablanca - KDE based. http://kasablanca.berlios.de

Another one. Igloo ftp http://www.iglooftp.com/unix/

Not sure if you can do this but maybe run FTPRush in WINE? Just a thought

I've had this same problem so I can safely say that you probably won't find the silver bullet you are looking for. The FTP clients currently available on Linux just don't compare to some of the Windows clients. Having searched and searched I had to settle with gFTP and FileZilla. However there is another that is decent which hasn't been mentioned yet: FireFTP. It is an extension to Firefox so that in itself has it's own set of pro's and con's.

Before you give up though, you should test drive CrossOver and use it to install FTPRush and see if it works. It's at least worth a try.

Also gigolo works to do that. It's very useful when nautilus is not available (i.e. when using Linux with LXDE). Gigolo establish connection and later with a file manager is possible open as a local folder.
