gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

I've compiled gftp for the n800. It's not nicely packaged yet, nor hildonized, but it works to graphically connect to SFTP machines, which I could never get the maemo-hackers file manager to do. The user interface is so-so on the tablet, but again, it works for now!

Instructions to install, since it's not packaged.
1. Download the tar.gz file below.
2. Unpack it on your tablet or on a computer to a memory card - you'll end up with two files.
3. Copy the gftp-gtk executable to a directory on the device, I'd suggest /usr/local/bin or /home/user.
4. Create a directory /usr/local/share/gftp, and copy the gftprc configuration file to that directory.
5. Run gftp-gtk from an X-terminal.

I been waiting for a port like this for a long time... I been using the one from rox.

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

will it work on the 770?

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

I don't know. It was compiled on the maemo bora vmware appliance, and I don't have a 770 or a compile environment for it.

Try it out, and let us know!

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Excellent! Thanks for this.

Quick heads up - gFTP works just fine on n770 with 2006.

Stupid question (just got my n770 yesterday) but is there a quick way to make a link to it in the menus? I'm off to search the forums after this post, but any help is appreciated.

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

i want ti know how to make a link please

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

I am fairly new to using the command line so what command do i use to run the gftp-gtk file? Thanks

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

It was built for OS2007, so I doubt it will run at all.

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

There you go. ;)

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Thanks, however is there another program that supports sftp. Thanks.

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

I just searched with the key word sftp and saw a lot of threads that may have the answer. Let us know what you find out.

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Not necessarily. It was never built against hildon libs which did have a major revamp in OS2008. Probably with a few symlinks, it would run in OS2008.

But I can't be bothered to check with ldd and manually check each library it uses is there in diablo ;)

Anyway, for FTP, like already mentioned, MaemoFTP ftw.
But I assume you came here for a client that supports sftp which MaemoFTP does not.

Anyway, I've done another build for diablo. ssl actually enabled in this one, stripped (yes, unix terminology of stripping, not the other common form ;P), built using Os and some standard cflags to use the hardware vfp etc:

It's in deb form (like it should be) because I can't be arsed, it's not hildonised like in the first post.

Have fun entering the user and passsword ;P

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

I was wondering about an SCP GUI client for the tablet today actually. What would be really nice to have is fuse and sshfs for the tablet. I'm guessing those haven't been ported yet?

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Knock yourself out ;) (by ukki)

There is also a fuse build in diablo extras too.

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Any chance for a chinook version?

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Oh nice! Thanks for the heads up on that! :) I'll try it out now.

EDIT: fuse and sshfs works great on chinook! :D

EDIT 2: Any possibility of an OS2008 version of hildon-ssh-askpass? Or non-hildonized port would probably do really. I'm loving my tablet more and more! :cool:

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Sorry, I don't have a CHINOOK_ARMEL target in my scratchbox anymore. You may be able to get this to run by forcing-depends using dpkg on the deb file and symlinking libcrypto0.9.7.so to libcrypto.0.9.8.so

I think it's libcrypto, gftp will spew out an error message with the right lib name anyway.

Those debs in that maemofuse folder are for chinook incidentally :)

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Here you go!

Hildonised, I changed the sources to use the new chinook/diablo hildon libraries instead of the old bora ones.

EDIT: Seeing as I have it, you can have the insecure sshpass program too. I needed it to supply my password automatically to a server which doesn't understand authorised keys :mad:

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

I tried installing and it gives me a missing dependency: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.12-1osso10) :confused:

EDIT: Looks like a lib that's provided in Diablo. Latest libglib2.x for chinook according to gronmayer is 2.12.12-1osso9.

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Alas, it's the best I can do, I don't have a chinook SDK. Maybe it's time to bite the bullet and upgrade?

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Ok I forced the package to install with dpkg and the executable works fine when launched manually (window shows up with password dialog box), but how do I get fuse/sshfs to use hildon-ssh-askpass when it prompts for the password?

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

There was a GTK API break between OS2007 and OS2008. It has nothing to do with Hildon. Unless you install the old GTK libs it's not gonna work, and no amount of symlinking will change that. :rolleyes:

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

I was wrong. I said it would need symlinks. I just ran the bora binary from the first post in diablo fine, no symlinks needed. I can see the effect of the API break. :rolleyes:

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Sorry for reviving this thread, but I have a lame-o question. How do I select multiple files in gFTP on maemo? I was in the middle of transferring a directory when I lost the connection to the host server. Now, instead of transferring the directory again, I'd like to just transfer over the remaining files, but I can only seem to select one at a time. Any tips?

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

You can use shift-click and ctrl-click.

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

what's the best way to scroll down lists? for me the pully in the middle doesn't work at all. is there like a page down key or something like that?

Or how do you guys scroll down?

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

I can't scroll, too. What am I missing?

Re: gftp graphical FTP/SFTP/SCP client available
 

Any chance of this app being ported to work well on Maemo 5 (even as is, without a complete UI redesign to make it Maemo-5-conforming)? I'd like a graphical scp and I haven't found any other versions.. Currently the UI is rather broken on the N900, with dialog windows and edit fields being obscured by the menu that opened them and other horribleness.

Or would I have to write a new UI myself over the existing libraries? I am a python/c++ dev, but not yet written anything on N900 beyond a basic hello world windowed app in python.
