After you have
connected, you can go to the Bookmarks menu to add this server to your bookmarks for
easy access later.
By default, gFTP is set up for anonymous access and delivers your local email address
(
@linux.local) as the password. You can change the default address in the
Options menu, located under FTP. The program also supports sftp and other SSH protocols.
To check the settings for secure transfers, go to the FTP menu, and then select Options, SSH.
Figure 17.1 shows the Emacs directory on the GNU project server at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. At the bottom of the screen, you can see the text stream noting
the commands that have been entered. You cannot directly type commands into this
window, but all the standard commands are available from the menus. The right-click
context menus work well, too.
As always with Linux systems, the default transfer type is Binary, so if you are uploading
or downloading a text file, go to the FTP menu and select Ascii.
NOTE
Use the ASCII transfer option only if you are moving plain-text files readable with a text
editor.
