I installed gftp on 1-20-13 on one system:

Jan 30 16:12:32 Installed: 2:gftp-2.0.19-4.el6.rf.i686

Now I go to get it for another system, and it is NOT THERE! ARGH!!!

<small font> help </small font> :)

rf means it came from rpmfusion, I think.

not from epel.

Actually rf means it comes from repoforge:

thanks for straightening me out.

Hi Robert,

Alternatively, you could always become the EPEL package maintainer. Then you can let Fedora's release engineering manage the repo for you :)

Since the last release of gftp was in 2008 I would recommend switching to e.g. filezilla which is available from EPEL.

that would require teaching this old dog new tricks, and right now I have enough new tricks to deal with. Perhaps around summertime ;)

While the EPEL package doesn't seem to be maintained anymore either at least upstream is still maintaining the project and current builds are available for Fedora and can potentially be rebuilt for EL6.

Which has lots of other tools. Actually I ONLY use gftp for a GUI SCP interface (or whatever it is doing under the covers when you select SSH!).
