gftp. however, it's the best one for linux in general, not just gentoo. But this is entirely subjective. I say try out all those listed and figure out which best works for you. Then and only then, is it the "best"...

Oh the best is the one you like most! I vote for ncftp.

Torn between ncftp and gftp

I guess I like ncftp a bit more

.. Sometimes I'm in the mood for point and click (gftp) mostly command line though

There are plenty of threads about ftp clients.

Anyone know of a good graphical FTP client for linux? I need to publish my web page, and I don't trust web page editors' "Publish" features. Oh yeah, and preferrably in portage, although it doesn't have to be.

There are a couple of threads covering graphical ftp clients.

Hi,

I've been trying for some time now to make a reliable connection to my website's FTP server. I've tried several different graphical FTP clients, including axyftp, kasablanca, kbear and lftp (command line) and none of them will keep a stable connection with my FTP server. Please help! I need to download over 400Mbytes of files every month to back up my website and it's turning out to be a real headache.

In Windows I use "SmartFTP" which is great - very configurable and very stable. At the moment I'm seriously considering installing Wine on my Gentoo box so I can use SmartFTP again. But this seems crazy - there MUST be a decent graphical FTP client for Gentoo. Please help!

Happy Christmas,
Thanks,
Jack

As "best" is an opinion, please search for other threads regarding which client to use. (Searching Dups will probably be easiest.)
