10.4 gFTP FTP Client
You
can use your web browser to download files from an FTP server, but to
upload files you need an FTP client. The gFTP client, included with
Red Hat Linux, is an excellent choice, because its user interface
resembles that of popular Windows FTP clients, such as WS-FTP. Figure 10-18 shows the gFTP client, which can be launched
by choosing Extras 
Internet
gFTP from the GNOME or KDE menu.
