KFTPGrabber is also popular (and available from the Guru YaST repository). Of
course, all the web browsers (Konqueror, Epiphany, Mozilla, Galeon, and Opera) have FTP
clients built in as well. Konqueror in file-management mode (and the Nautilus file
manager for GNOME) also has no problem connecting to a remote server and transferring
files. Just type the URL for the remote machine into the Location box.
Using gFTP
The gFTP client for GNOME makes it easy to transfer files from any remote host. When you
open it up, you??™ll see your home directory in the left panel (as you can see in Figure 17.1).
When you connect to a remote site, its home directory will appear in the right panel.

FIGURE 17.1 gFTP simplifies file transfer with side-by-side directories and drag-and-drop
ease.
The program comes with bookmarks for some of the largest FTP file repositories, including
the openSUSE FTP servers, so you can browse around for interesting files if you??™re so
inclined. If you already know the site you want to connect to, make the connection by
typing the address and the additional information into the Host field.
