Hi Didier and all,
You are correct, lftp is very good.
It, however is a pain to figure out how to use, but once you got the
hang of it, it works very well.
Thanks for that one.
Warm regards,
Brandt Steenkamp

Hi Brandt,
lftp, sftp (CLI) gftp (GUI by default but the is also gftp-txt that I never
used) can do ftp over ssh and are instaklled bu default in Slint.
lftp and sftp have good man pages
lftp is amazing: to mirror a website just type:
lftp -c "mirror <url>"
Cheers,
Didier

Ok, sorry, I was probably not as clear as I should have been. One of the sites I
have to connect to asks for ftp over tls, and none of the 4 sites has standard
port 21 as the connection default.
I know I could probably use filezilla on the GUI, but I'd prefer the CLI.
Warm regards,
Brandt Steenkamp

Tim here. I've always just used the command-line client (since the
late 80s or early 90s over dial-up?) which is accessible as any other
CLI application:
$ ftp ftp.example.com
ftp> ls
[files & directories]
ftp> cd /pub
ftp> ls
[files & directories in /pub]
ftp> bin
200 Type set to I.
ftp> get some_file.zip
[file downloads]
ftp> put local_file.mp3
[uploads "local_file.mp3" to the server]
If you're only transferring text documents, you can skip the "bin"ary
command, letting it jockey line-endings for you. But most of the
time you want to use "bin"ary mode to ensure the file doesn't have
newline-translation during transfer.

recommend, weather it be CLI or GUI really doesn't matter to me.
