FTP client in Ubuntu

Just started to work on my website using my Linux distro. First I needed an HTML editor which I believe I already posted about. Anyway, I'm using Komposer for that purpose, and then I needed an FTP client, since unfortunately Nautilus doesn't work with FTP the same way Windows Explorer does. That was a disappointment, as I do love how on Windows I can just type in my ftp adress and boom, I'm pretty much there.

Well there are a few options I found, such as Gftp, Kasablanca, Fireftp, KFTPgrabber, and others. I ended up chosing Filezilla, since I had already heard about it before and figured that should be a good one to start with.


The app is pretty good, I have just used it a couple of times and it seemed stable enough and powerful enough for my needs. To get the bastard, you can go through the software center or the good old command line

$sudo apt-get install filezilla

easy enough
