Get Tksftp from its sourceforge project site
TkSftp has been tested on and thus has the following dependancies:
After untarring the archive, reading the README is a good idea as it probably
contains the latest release notes. The Changelog will document changes across
version upgrades.
TkSftp runs right out of the archive. By default, `chmod a+x tksftp' and running the
file directly assumes that Expectk lives in /usr/local/bin. If that is not the case
on your system, please invoke 'expectk' and specify 'tksftp' as the argument.
When TkSftp successfully loads, a pair of entry boxes at the top of the window, 2
listboxes, and a textbox at the bottom are present. You ought to see something like
the windows in the screenshots
Enter your login information in the box labeled 'username@hostname'. Example:
if your username is 'cowbert' and your remote box is 'shell.sourceforge.net',
then you would enter 'cowbert@shell.sourceforget.net'. Enter your password in the
box provided and either click 'Login' or hit <Return>.
Upon a successful login, you will be presented with directory listings in the listbox.
The left listbox lists your local filesystem whereas the right listbox shows the filesystem
on the remote host. Note that the password area is cleared immediately for security reasons.
If the login failed, the bottom textbox will inform you of what went wrong.
To refresh the directory listings, click 'Refresh'. Upon the completion of
any file operation, the directory listings are automatically refreshed.
To change directories, either double-click on the directory (entries ending with /),
or enter a path in the entry box provided above each listing.
To transfer files, select the file(s) on the appropriate host and click either 'Put'
or 'Get'. To select multiple files, hold down ctrl- or shift- while selecting.
To disconnect from the remote host, click 'Logout'.
To exit TkSftp, click 'Quit'.
