I personally find this alot better than the 'integrated' ftp and sftp in xandros. gFTP is also the same one I use on my Ubuntu desktop PC, so the familiar interface is nice too.

When I find more working useful programs I'll post as I go.

I liked gFTP too but in the end it was unreliable. Quite often I found that it would stall when attempting to transfer a file. The built in FTP functionality in file manager does not suffer from this at all.

hmm.. never had those issues, but it must just be personal preference. If anybody is looking to try something different, then I'd recommend this.

I've used gFTP on various machines for years and never had that problem. The only time that ever happened it was the FTP server having a problem, not the software.

Probably the case, I'll give it another shot.

Can anyone tell me what program is comparable to Windows? Meaning, is this a internet explorer / windows explorer for managing FTP sites (but then for linux)?

It's an FTP Client like FileZilla, WS_FTP, Cute FTP, etc,
