INTRODUCTION

KFTPGrabber - A graphical FTP client for KDE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are many FTP clients around these days. Most are console based, some
|
|
|
|
feature a graphical user interface. What most clients are missing is support
|
|
|
|
for latest or not so common technologies like ZeroConf, TLS/SSL or FXP (just
|
|
|
|
to name a few), accompanied by a decent user interface that tries to support
|
|
|
|
the user instead of frustrating him/her.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KFTPGrabber tries to make a complete FTP client solution with support for
|
|
|
|
plugins, scripting and everything else the users needs, based on the
|
|
|
|
latest technologies provided by KDE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
