💖 ncftpbookmarks — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is ncftpbookmarks, part of the General Commands Manual lineup, and honestly? she's a whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ncftpbookmarks — a full screen bookmarks editor for ncftp 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ncftpbookmarks

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no drama, just vibes ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so ncftpbookmarks is a full-screen bookmark editor for ncftp, which is a File Transfer Protocol client. iykyk 💅

here's the tea: ncftp can bookmark the server name, login name and password of all your favorite ftp servers. and ncftpbookmarks is the girl whose entire job is handling those bookmarks. no cap. 👑

lowkey the best part? you can also launch this full-screen editor straight from the ncftp prompt with the bookmarks command. not me giving you two ways in 🙈

so when you're in there, the screen splits into two parts:

  • the left side gives you a brief description of the keyboard controls 📋
  • the right side lists all existing bookmarks 📚

navigating the list:

  • the up and down arrows move the cursor — or, if you're feeling quirky, the u and d keys do the exact same thing 🦋
  • the x key quits the editor. bye bestie 👋
and here's the catch, so listen up: other commands have to be typed in full (e.g. /ed, /del). no abbreviations, no shortcuts, no half-sending. she wants the full word. periodt. 💀

✨ FILES ✨

  • $HOME/.ncftp/bookmarks — saves bookmark and host information 💾

✨ AUTHORS ✨

  • Mike Gleason, NcFTP Software (mgleason@ncftp.com). 🌸
  • This man page was written by Nicolas Duboc (nicolas@duboc.net) for the Debian distribution of the ncftp package. 🎀
