That works for me on FC1. Only nice thing about the program might be the
coloured output. But with lftp, ftp, curl, wget I would not use it.
Deleting gftp-text gives a funny error message, though, when gftp is run
in text mode.
gftp is `which gftp`=/usr/bin/gftp and it is a shell script that checks
if $DISPLAY is set and executes gftp-text or gftp-gtk accordingly. The message
is something like "Error: Can't find gFTP binaries installed in /usr/bin".
I'm
sure when gftp-text is removed gftp-gtk will be renamed to gftp and the old
gftp script will be unnececary. I also tryed gftp-text and it seems useless to
me. Midnight Command (mc) does the same job in text mode gftp-gtk does in
graphic mode for me (I wonder why mc is not included by default in any
installation mode, a bit buggy but verry easy to use for newbies).
