gFTP als Linux-Alternative zu WS_FTP
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
gFTP is a solid, free replacement for WS_FTP if you need standard file transfers over FTP, FTPS, and SFTP. It covers the core needs of directory synchronization and secure authentication well. However, it lacks the advanced enterprise features and polished workflow tools that IT professionals often rely on in WS_FTP. For individual users or small teams handling routine transfers, gFTP is sufficient. For complex, high-volume, or heavily automated enterprise environments, you might find its interface dated and its feature set limited compared to the commercial original.

Was gleich funktioniert
- Supports FTP, FTPS, and SFTP protocols
- Provides both graphical and command-line interfaces
- Includes file comparison and directory synchronization tools

Was anders ist
- gFTP is free open-source software, while WS_FTP is commercial
- WS_FTP typically offers more advanced automation and scripting capabilities
- gFTP uses GTK+ interface, which may feel less modern than WS_FTP’s Windows-native UI
- WS_FTP includes a built-in FTP server component, which gFTP does not
Ihre WS_FTP-Dateien öffnen
gFTP does not natively open WS_FTP-specific configuration or session files. You will need to manually recreate your site profiles, including hostnames, ports, and authentication details. If you use WS_FTP’s queue management for specific tasks, those queues are not portable and must be set up anew in gFTP’s queue manager.
Von WS_FTP zu gFTP wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Install gFTP via your distribution’s package manager
- Export your site list from WS_FTP if possible, or note down host details
- Create new site profiles in gFTP using the same FTP/FTPS/SFTP settings
- Import any SSH keys or certificates into gFTP’s authentication manager
- Test connections and verify directory synchronization settings

gFTP unter Linux installieren
sudo apt install gftpsudo apt install gftpsudo dnf install gftpHäufige Fragen
Can gFTP handle large file transfers efficiently?
Yes, gFTP is multithreaded, which allows it to handle large transfers and multiple concurrent connections effectively, similar to WS_FTP.
Does gFTP support SFTP with key-based authentication?
Yes, gFTP supports SFTP and allows you to use private key files for authentication, which is essential for secure server access.
Is there a built-in FTP server in gFTP?
No, gFTP is a client only. If you need to run an FTP server, you will need to install a separate server package like vsftpd or ProFTPD.
