visftp is a text-mode graphical ftp client, with a dual-pane UI , also known as

the "orthodox" file management UI paradigm. The dual-pane UI design is a

perfect fit for an FTP client, where the user is required to navigate two

filesystems simultaneously; one pane is dedicated to the remote filesystem

served over ftp, while the other is for navigating the local filesystem.

visftp was written to address the lack of graphical FTP clients for DOS

(MS-DOS, FreeDOS, etc), but will also run on UNIX systems using curses for its

UI.

**Project status**: *Prototype*. visftp mostly works, but it's very rough, and you

will find lots of bugs. Feel free to open bug reports, but keep in mind that the

most obvious issues will be solved as a matter of course as this project

progresses.
