    • in 2016 enkel vi source force == bloatware

  • Sommige linux FM -zoals bvb. Nemo- hebben ingebouwde ftp / netwerk transfer functionaliteit

  • er zijn ook enkle ftp commands voor shell (voor een vlugge transfer)
    check out NcFTP https://www.ncftp.com/ , cross platform , zeer uitgebreid , echter enkel ftp ?

  • sommige apps kunnen ook syncronizeren ( bv WinSCP , waarschijnlijk ook Filezilla)
