You can use your web browser to download files from an FTP server, but
to upload files you need an FTP client. The
gFTP
client, included on the Linux CD-ROM, is an excellent choice, because
its user interface resembles that of popular Microsoft Windows FTP
clients, such as WS-FTP.
Figure 11.18 shows the
gFTP client. To connect to a remote system, click
on Remote
Connect, identify the system's hostname, specify any
necessary userid or password, and click on Connect. To upload a file,
click on the name of the file in the local list box at the left of the
window and then click on
. To download a file, click on the name
of the file in the list box at the right of the window and then click
on
. When you've transferred all your files, click on Remote
Disconnect.
