   directory ]]

DESCRIPTION

   gFTP is a file transfer client for *NIX based  machines.  It  currently
   has  a  text  interface  and  a  GTK+  1.2/2.x  graphical interface. It
   currently supports the  FTP,  FTPS  (control  connection  only),  HTTP,
   HTTPS, SSH and FSP protocols.

OPTIONS

   You  may  enter  a url on the command line that gFTP will automatically
   connect to when it starts up.

   --help, -h
          Display program usage.

   --info Display some information about how gFTP was built.  Please  send
          the output of this command when submitting a bug report.

   --version, -v
          Display the current version of gFTP.

   proto  This  specifies  the  protocol  that  should  be  used.  It  can
          currently be one of the  following  options:  ftp,  ftps,  http,
          https,  ssh,  fsp,  local and bookmark. If omitted, the protocol
          specified by the default_protocol option will be used.

   user   The username that will be used to log into the remote server. If
          omitted,  your current username will be used for most protocols.
          For the FTP protocol, the anonymous username will be used.

   pass   The password that will be used to log into the remote server. If
          omitted, you will be prompted for the password. If you are using
          the FTP protocol, and the username is anonymous, then your email
          address will be used as the password.

   server The remote server to connect to.

   port   The  remote  port  on  the server to connect to. If omitted, the
          default port for the protocol will be used.  The  port  will  be

          server.

FILES
