About gFTP
gFTP is a multithreaded file transfer client for Unix-like systems, with a GTK 3 interface by default and optional GTK 2 support. It connects over FTP, FTPS with explicit TLS, and SFTP through the OpenSSH client.
The interface is translated into 56 languages. It is built with Meson and depends on GLib, with OpenSSL and readline as optional extras. It suits Linux desktop users who want a simple graphical client for moving files to and from servers.
