Re: [orca-list] (IMPORTANT) Accessible ftp client

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,


It really depends on what you are trying to do.


When coming from Windows to Linux this was one of my most difficult 
questions.

At first I wanted to have all in one usable graphical FTP client similar 
to Filezilla however filezilla is unlike to get better accessibility 
support since it inherits most of its accessibility issues from wxGtk 
that is not expected to get addressed in the mean time I started looking 
for other choices.


For simple browsing one time uploads and downloads I do use nautilus 
also known as Files app when you are using GNOME or Unity desktop 
environments. Nautilus uses GVFS to access remote sites including FTP so 
you can just put an FTP url into its address bar or you can go to its 
top pannel menu and hit Connect to server from there.


It support plain FTP, SFTP, FTP with SSL (I think FTPS) and also FTP 
with TLS(I assume FTPES).


Then I some times use Firefox addon called Fire FTP, that looks similar 
to Filezilla however that's not a standalone app but a Firefox addon.


And finally for syncing large directory trees over FTP I either use 
ncftp or LFTP from the command line.


There are much more FTP clients than these but this is a combination 
that works for me.


Greetings


Peter
