gui ftp client

yeah, rpm's are much easier. You're also on an rpm-based distro and things are diff. Usually not a prob but rpm's made for you distro will include stuff for the distro like menu entries and knowlegde that the app/version is even installed so not to mess up stuff. If you have to do a tarball check out checkinstall. It'll make and install a rpm from a tarball eliminating these probs and making it easy to remove.

 

To put it simply, if you try a pkg on a suse cd and it works, great...it's easier, if not, try a suse mirror. Dependencies for gftp shouldn't be too bad. If you have the temporary hd space or want ot try to go straight to a cd, consider wget. It's a terminal downloader.

 

wget -r <url>

will get every, I mean recurse through directories and get everything at that url.

 

wget -r --level=2 <url>

will only download that current directory and recurse to one other.

 

SEE: wget --help or man wget

 

Then you'll have everything available for the distro version on cd :D Just a thought.

thanks for elaborating :D
