Taxi is a graphical FTP client designed for elementary OS. It provides a straightforward way to connect to remote servers and transfer files without working directly with command-line utilities.
The application uses a dual-pane layout, with local and remote directories displayed alongside one another. This familiar arrangement makes it easier to identify files and folders and move data between the computer and the remote server.
Taxi is particularly suited to users who want a dedicated transfer application without the extensive configuration options and additional tools found in more comprehensive FTP clients. Its interface follows the design conventions of elementary OS.
The application supports connections to remote servers using FTP and provides graphical facilities for browsing directories and transferring files and folders. It is intended for everyday remote file management tasks, including moving files to hosting accounts and accessing remote storage.
Taxi uses native desktop interface components and integrates with the elementary OS environment.
This is free and open source software.
