The gftp command is just a shell script that checks if your\n  DISPLAY variable is set, and if so it'll run the appropriate version.\n\n\n## Can gFTP download a bunch of files/directories and then exit when it's completed?\n\n  Yes, the text port of gFTP supports this well. You can type:\n  gftp-text -d ftp://ftp.somesite.com/someplace.\n  If someplace is a directory, it'll automatically download all of its\n  subdirectories as well. If you want to transfer a file through ssh instead of\n  ftp, just change the ftp:// to ssh://.\n\n\n## GTK UI: do I have to enter a port, username and password to connect to a ftp server?\n\n  No you don't. If you leave the port blank, it'll default to the default port\n  for the protocol you selected (port 21 for FTP). If you leave the username\n  blank, it will default to logging in as anonymous.\n\n\n## Where does gFTP store its options?\n\n  gFTP follows the XDG Base Directory Specification, it will automatically create a\n  ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gftp directory when it is first run. Your\n  config file is ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gftp/gftprc, and this is where all of gFTP's settings are\n  stored. The config file is well commented, so take a glance at it and see if\n  there is anything you want to change. Your bookmarks are stored in the file\n  ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gftp/bookmarks.\n\n  ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME} is usually ${HOME}/.config, unless you change it.\n\n  Every time gFTP is run, it will log the contents of the log window to ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gftp/\n  gftp.log. The contents of this file will be automatically purged this file when\n  gFTP is started up.\n\n\n## I can't transfer certain file types in binary mode using the FTP protocol.\n\n  Edit your ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gftp/gftprc file and look at the ext= lines towards the bottom of\n  the file. These lines control what icon is used for each file type. It also\n  controls what mode is used for the file transfer. For example, to transfer all\n  HTML files as binary, change the following two lines:\n\n  - ext=.htm:world.xpm:A:\n  - ext=.html:world.xpm:A:\n\n  to the following:\n  - ext=.htm:world.xpm:B:\n  - ext=.html:world.xpm:B:\n\n## When gFTP tries to get the remote directory listing, I receive the error: Cannot create a data connection: Connection refused\n\n  Go under gFTP-\u003eOptions-\u003eFTP and turn off passive file transfers. Instead of\n  sending the PASV command to open up the data connection on the server side, the\n  data connection will be opened up on the client side, and the PORT command will\n  be sent to the server instead.\n\n\n## When using the FTPS protocol, gFTP cannot connect if the remote server uses a self signed certificate.\n\n  Go to `gFTP` menu -\u003e `Preferences` -\u003e `SSL Engine` and untick `Verify SSL Peer`\n\n  Or you should add the public key of your self signed CA to your OpenSSL certs\n  directory.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmasneyb%2Fgftp","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmasneyb%2Fgftp","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmasneyb%2Fgftp/lists"}
