Free Open FTP Face – lightweight graphical FTP client

Last Updated on November 13, 2022

Free Open FTP Face (FOFF) is a lightweight, graphical (GTK+) FTP client written in Python.

Its emphasis is on simplicity, convenience, and ease of use. The interface provides the classic two-paned view with local files on the left and remote files on the right.

FOFF has a built-in terminal, text viewer, image viewer, audio player, checksums and one-click gzip (de)compression. The idea behind the built-in tools, is that regardless of the operating system, users can instantly preview files or perform common operations, since there is no overhead from loading an external program. With the exception of the (optional) audio player, these built-in features do not add any dependencies.

Features include:

• Sports a modern interface using GTK+ 2.x widgets.
• Bookmark Manager so that users can easily manage and test site connections.
• Image Viewer: View and zoom images with a very fast viewer.
• Text Viewer: View readme files or quickly review text.
• Audio Player: Preview audio or create playlists.
• Compression: One-click gzip compression and decompression.
• File Checksums: Easy .md5 file creation and verification.
• Terminal Window: Supports OS and FTP commands.
