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.

gftp-gtk-2.0.18.tar.gz

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

will it work on the 770?

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!

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.

i want ti know how to make a link please

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

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

There you go.
