gftp(1): graphical ftp client

NAME

--help, -h: Display program usage, and quit
--version, -v: This will display the current version of gFTP, and exit
--download, -d: This tells gFTP to download the files and directories specified in the url passed on the command line.
user: This is the username that you will login as to the remote site. If no username is supplied, the default is to login as anonymous.
pass: This is the password you will use to login to the remotesite. If you do not enter a password, then gFTP will ask you for one when it starts up. I do not recommend entering your password on the command prompt. Anyone that has access to your machine will be able to see your username and password with the ps(1) command. If you are logging in as anonymous, you do not need to pass a password since gFTP will automatically send your email address as your password.
site: This is the remote site you want to connect to
port: This is the port that the remote server is listening on. If you do not enter a port, it will default to using the ftp port listed in the file. If the entry doesn't exist there, it will default to port 21.
directory: This is the default directory to change to once you are connected to the remote server.
