About bareFTP
bareFTP is a file transfer client written for Linux desktops, available under the terms of
the GPL license. It supports the FTP, FTPS and SSH (SFTP) protocols. bareFTP is written in C#
for the Mono framework, using Gtk# for the user interface.
Why yet another FTP client?
No special reason or need. I know - we have lots of them already. This is just
my hobby project, and I was never really happy with the look'n feel
of any of the FTP clients for the GTK/GNOME desktop.
Does it work on Windows?
I have no idea. Probably not, but maybe in the future.
Credits and Acknowledgements
bareFTP is influenced by a number of projects.
bareFTP's basic FTP design was initially influenced by edtFTPnet by
EnterpriseDT, but has later taken a
different direction. And of course... I have to mention
gftp.
It is an excellent ftp client, but appears rather abandoned, which is partly
the reason I started this project.
Huge thanks to the authors for making such great open source software!
I have tried to keep references to the original copyright holders in
the source files that are more or less borrowed from other projects.
