NcFTP

What NcFTP is

NcFTP is a free set of programs for transferring files using FTP. Its tools include a browser, command-line transfer and listing utilities, and background programs. The browser offers progress meters, filename completion, command-line editing, bookmarks, cached directory listings, resumable downloads, and directory-tree downloads; it can also redial and process work in the background. For scripts, ncftpget and ncftpput handle command-line transfers, while ncftpbatch processes queued requests. Scheduled transfers and automation are supported. NcFTP runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and can use passive mode or be configured for a firewall or proxy. It uses FTP only and has no built-in encryption or secure FTP modes such as SFTP, SSL, or SSH tunnels. By default it attempts anonymous access, though users can specify a username with the -u option. There is no registration or licensing fee; donations are appreciated. Version 3 uses the Clarified Artistic License, and LibNcFTP is available as a C API for adding FTP client services to applications.
