Title: GUI sftp client?
Post by: os2monkey on 2007.11.02, 09:27:35
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a either native or java based gui sftp client for os/2?
I just suggested a bounty for a native os/2 filezilla, but just wondering if there is anything out there at the moment (so far my search has not turned up anything.)

Thanks,
David Kiley

Hi David

Not sure if FireFTP fits your requirements but it is an extension for Mozilla browsers - you need xsidebar as well to make it work on Seamonkey - that works fairly well here for my needs.

The description given for this extension is
"FireFTP is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers.

Along with transferring your files quickly and efficiently, FireFTP also includes more advanced features such as: directory comparison, syncing directories while navigating, SSL encryption, search/filtering, integrity checks, remote editing, drag & drop, file hashing, and much more!"


Firefox version http://fireftp.mozdev.org/

Seamonkey version http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html#fireftp


If using the current Firefox/Seamonkey releases you may, if not already applied, need the patch file from PW mentioned in the thread "Bug is xpcomcor.dll fix?".

Regards

Pete

I have filezilla compiling - but unfortunately there are some problems in wxwidgets/2 that the developers are investigating that currently prevent filezilla from being usable - stay tuned :)

Hi Paul,
very nice that you have FileZilla compiling!!!
On the other hand, there are a few java graphical FTP clients that work very well! You may want to look at http://www.os2world.com/java.

Bye

Thanks for the java tips.
I found a free java application that seems perfect for my needs:
http://www.mucommander.com/

It's basically a file manager that also supports ftp/sftp. It is the only sftp java client I have found that seems to be able to save sftp bookmarks (so I don't have to type in the server details every time I want to login).
So far it seems to work flawlessly :) with java goldencode .

I'm really happy to hear Filezilla could be ported natively though, thanks Paul!
