Accessible ftp

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi Brandt,

lftp, sftp (CLI) gftp (GUI by default but the is also gftp-txt that I never
used) can do ftp over ssh and are instaklled bu default in Slint.

lftp and sftp have good man pages

lftp is amazing: to mirror a website just type:
lftp -c "mirror <url>"

Cheers,

Didier
