You are of course quit right. I did some googling before hand but should have
done a search on the list before posting. Thanks for pointing that out and
thanks to others who were more forgiving and helpful in light of that
oversight.
I have installed a couple of the programs and tried Konqueror. But I need a
little more than drag and drop functionality. With the 3dftp program I used
in Windoze you could sync a local directory with a remote site based upon
criteria such as file size and date. You could also setup include and exclude
filters as well on both files and directories. There was a little learning
curve but once you had a site configured you could work all day on a site
locally and at the end of the day just connect to the remote site, choose the
sync direction and your que list was filled. I am looking for an FTP client
on Debian with similar functionality and hoping to narrow down the number of
programs to look at.
Thanks,
Randy
