Linux GUI FTP software that doesn't rocket my CPU usage??
Just done a phpBB forum upgrade for somebody and had to use FTP which sucks cos it's not easy to do thing like upload tarballs and extract them, on the server with the correct permissions. Anyway, besides the point but since I use linux I've been using FireFTP for stuff like this. I can't stand using FTP on the command line - it's just too much to think about Ascii/Binary blah blah when I can just use a GUI based alternative. FireFTP has some sort of annoying bug though. When it's been open for more than about 30 seconds my CPU hits 100% and everything grinds to a halt... it even refuses to upload files itself.
What's anyone else using on linux?
Cheers,

I didn't realise nautilus did that
I'll check out gFTP and try using nautilus to do it too

I totally love the way you clearly read my first postthemurph wrote:Firefox has an FTP gui extension that works pretty decent:

if you use KDE you could try kftpgrabber. i used it a while ago and it seemed pretty decent.

If you have Java installed, you will find the CrossFTP (http://crossftp.googlepages.com/download.htm) works good, and the installation is easy by web start.

Hey thanks. I'll give that a go since it looks good. Much as I displike things that require a JVM since my little celeron cries at me for raping it this way.morningboat wrote:If you have Java installed, you will find the CrossFTP (http://crossftp.googlepages.com/download.htm) works good, and the installation is easy by web start.
