jftp [server]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bestie, JFtp is a graphical Java network and file transfer client. she's not just FTP — she does FTP using her own FTP API (main character energy fr fr), plus a whole roster of other protocols like SMB, SFTP, NFS, HTTP, and plain file I/O, all through third party APIs. versatile queen 👑

and the features?? obsessed:

  • recursive directory up/download (yes, whole trees, she's thorough)
  • browsing FTP servers while transferring files (multitasking icon)
  • FTP resuming and queueing
  • browsing the LAN for Windows shares
  • and more, because obviously

plus — and this is the slay — multiple connections can open at a time in a Mozilla-style tabbed browsing environment. tabs!! in your file transfer client!! iykyk 🎀

🌸 EXAMPLE 🌸

to just execute JFTP, you literally just run:

jftp

but if you need to choose your Java Virtual Machine (JVM), you may have to run:

/usr/lib/jvm/jvm/bin/java /usr/share/java/jftp.jar

where jvm is the JVM to use. pick your fighter 💅

and if you wanna open with ftp.kernel.org already listed in there:

jftp ftp://ftp.kernel.org

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • server — a fully qualified server URL. hand her a whole server and she'll pull up with it ready to go 🫶
