gFTP als Linux-Alternative zu FileZilla

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

gFTP can serve as a replacement for FileZilla for users who need basic FTP/FTPS/SFTP functionality on Linux. It provides a graphical GTK+ UI, multithreaded transfers, site bookmarks and a transfer queue, which covers the core use‑cases of most FileZilla users. Power users who rely on advanced site manager features, detailed transfer logs, or a polished UI may find gFTP a bit rough around the edges, but for everyday file transfers it works well.

Was gleich funktioniert

  • Supports FTP, FTPS and SFTP
  • Graphical file browser with drag‑and‑drop
  • Transfer queue with resume capability
  • Site/bookmark manager for saved connections
  • Shows transfer speed and basic logs

Was anders ist

  • FileZilla’s site manager is more feature‑rich (folders, tags, import/export) while gFTP only has simple bookmarks
  • FileZilla offers a more polished UI and better handling of large transfer logs
  • gFTP includes a command‑line mode, which FileZilla lacks
  • FileZilla provides built‑in speed limits and bandwidth throttling; gFTP does not
  • gFTP’s interface is GTK+ based and may feel less modern on non‑GNOME desktops

Ihre FileZilla-Dateien öffnen

gFTP cannot directly read FileZilla’s Site Manager XML files. There is no official importer, so you would need to recreate the connections manually in gFTP. Exporting from gFTP back to FileZilla is also not supported.

Von FileZilla zu gFTP wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

  1. Install gFTP from your distribution’s package manager (e.g., apt install gftp).
  2. Launch gFTP and open the bookmark pane.
  3. Create a new bookmark for each FileZilla site, copying host, port, protocol, username and password.
  4. Test each connection and adjust any advanced settings (e.g., passive mode).
  5. Transfer a small test file to verify resume and speed display work as expected.
