This is true . But you can also download meny FTP clints that run webbased and just host the client your self . if you check frshmeat.net you can find a webbased client there and run it off your own webserver even a free hosting site may work.

Both of my web hosts use “Control Panel” which allows me to use the file manager to upload and download as needed. Maybe this will help until the updated maemoFTP comes out.

Re: FTP on 2008
 
I would like to see more GUI based apps for the N800. I have a lot of admin tasks, ranging from server administration and file management, to network management. The only GUI app I have found so far is the VNC clone. I have not gotten aircrack, an FTP app, or Autoscan to work in a GUI environment and its hard to deal with the command line (assuming the app even works.) I thought the N800 might make it unneccessary to carry a laptop, but not yet....just easier for remote email and web browsing (for my lifestyle). I wanted to outfit my company with these things. (and they wont sync with Outlook); maybe I can get a Samba interface...

Obviously we need a good (more 'maemo-friendly') utility, but for now you can grab this quick build here :

If your english-us grab the smaller of the two gftp debs.

Thanks! that works great for me!

Did the trick for me! Thanks!

For the occasional use command line would be ok for many folks I guess. I just 'curl' for that (it's almost always installed already).
Code:

curl -T file-to-upload ftp://user:passwd@ftp.remote.machine.com/target.directory/

ncftp is an excellent command-line ftp client (bookmarks, remote filename completion, recursive get/put), been using it for well over ten years.

It's available from the repo at elkins.org.

Unless I'm missing something, once you're in gftp, you can't get out except by exiting. It's always in full screen mode.

Workaround: I learned here that ctrl-shift-H minimizes gftp (or any other app) and returns to the home screen. It worked even with an operation in progress.

Home key worked for me. I could then run other apps while gtfp was running.

MaemoFTP seems to be available for OS2008. See this page http://www.student.oulu.fi/~jualasal/gb/maemoftp.html for details.
