What is tnftp FOR LINUX?

tnftp

tnftp (formerly known as lukemftp) is a free and open-source command-line tool. It’s built in C and made to give users a version of the NetBSD FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client for other UNIX-like systems, especially GNU/Linux.

Why Choose tnftp?

This program comes packed with cool features that make it stand out from the usual BSD FTP client. With tnftp, you can fetch files using both HTTP and FTP URLs right from the command line. It also lets you edit commands easily, upload files via FTP URLs, and even has context-sensitive word completion. Pretty neat, right?

Where is tnftp Used?

Tnftp is super popular! Many operating systems like SUSE Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and Mac OS X have adopted it as their go-to FTP client. Plus, it works great on any Linux kernel-based system, whether you’re using 64-bit or 32-bit architecture.
