FTP Client GUI in Ubuntu

About

FtpCube is a multi-platform, graphical (S)FTP client written in Python, using the wxPython graphical tookit. FtpCube's interface is based on LeechFTP by Jan Debis but its codebase has been developed from scratch and includes functionality that surpasses the original LeechFTP. FtpCube aims to provide a high quality user interface, as well as a rich feature set. The FtpCube project was born out of the author search to find a good, capable unix (S)FTP client that offered an intuitive and attractive UI.

Features

Ftpcube offers a myriad of features including:

  • Seamless FTP & SFTP support through a modular back-end
  • Threaded browsing and multi-threaded downloading
  • Queuing of file transfers
  • Site Management
  • Recursive transfers
  • Remote Directory Caching
  • Internationalization
  • ... and more

Dependencies

FtpCube relies on the following to work, which may or may not come with
your system depending on your platform (but hopefully and often does):

  • Python: http://www.python.org
  • wxPython: http://www.wxpython.org
  • Paramiko SSH (Optional): http://www.lag.net/paramiko/

FtpCube is available for all platforms supported by Python and wxPython. FtpCube
will run on wxPython v2.6.3.x or greater. You will need to install the wxPython platform libraries before running FtpCube. In addition, if you want to enable the modular SFTP support, you will need to install the Paramiko SSH library. Note that the Paramiko library is optional. FtpCube will still function without the Paramiko SSH libraries installed but SFTP support will be disabled.
