KFTPGrabber README -------------------- INTRODUCTION ============== KFTPGrabber - A graphical FTP client for TDE There are many FTP clients around these days. Most are console based, some feature a graphical user interface. What most clients are missing is support for latest or not so common technologies like ZeroConf, TLS/SSL or FXP (just to name a few), accompanied by a decent user interface that tries to support the user instead of frustrating him/her. KFTPGrabber tries to make a complete FTP client solution with support for plugins, scripting and everything else the users needs, based on the latest technologies provided by TDE. Here are some of the features: - Multiple FTP sessions (tabs) - Transfer queue - TLS/SSL support for encrypted connections (implicit and explicit) - Partial X509 certificate support for authentication - FXP transfer support (site-to-site) - OTP (one time password) support - S/Key, MD5, RMD160, SHA1 - Drag&Drop support - Site bookmarking - Encrypted bookmark support (password can be saved to TDEWallet) - Distributed FTP support (PRET) - SSCN and CPSV support - Skiplist - ZeroConf (aka. Rendezvous) support for local site discovery - Bookmark sharing with Kopete contacts (KDE >= 3.3) - Bookmark import plugins - Support for SFTP protocol [experimental] This file was last updated with relevance to KFTPGrabber 0.8.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPENDENCIES ============== Required: * KDElibs 3.3 http://www.kde.org * OpenSSL 0.9.7 http://www.openssl.org Please note: If you obtain these dependencies via a packaging system, you must also install the devel versions of these packages! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS ================================ In order to compile and install KFTPGrabber on your system, type the following in the base directory of the KFTPGrabber distribution: % ./configure --prefix=`tde-config --prefix` % make % make install Note: --enable-final is not supported.
