gFTP als Linux-Alternative zu CuteFTP
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
gFTP is a solid replacement for CuteFTP, especially for users who rely on GUI-driven FTP, FTPS, and SFTP transfers with basic file management. It supports multithreaded transfers, bookmarks, and dual-pane browsing via its GTK+ interface, making it suitable for typical file synchronization tasks. While its interface feels dated compared to modern clients, it remains functional and stable. It’s best suited for Linux users who prioritize reliability over polish and don’t need advanced automation or enterprise features.

Ihre CuteFTP-Dateien öffnen
gFTP does not directly import CuteFTP site profiles or configuration files. There is no documented tool or built-in function to convert .ini or .site files from CuteFTP into gFTP’s format. Users must manually recreate connections and bookmarks. If file transfer history or login credentials are stored outside CuteFTP, they won’t be accessible. Migration requires re-entering hostnames, ports, and authentication details.
