The Best Free Software for Linux Developers

Important Software for Linux Developers 

For FTP file transfer, FileZilla exists under GNU / Linux as well as under Windows. WSFTP is found in GNU / Linux: gftp in graphical mode, the command ftp, lftp or the very practical ncftp in text mode.

The GNU / Linux GetRight is called Downloader for X (d4x), or Getleft (only for sucking up websites). 

File sharing (peer to peer) also exists in Linux, which allows you to connect to networks:

- Gnutella, with Limewire (yes, the same as under windows, but still not free), Qtella or GTK Gnutella

- eDonkey, with the official client, but also the free mldonkey client, etc.

There are various software for downloading bittorent files, the most popular being KTorrent and qBittorrent.

Filezilla for Linux is an FTP client, or software that allows you to connect to a server via the FTP protocol. It is a benchmark and has nothing, or at least not much, to envy the "big" payers such as Cyberduck, FlashFXP, or BulletProof FTP Server because it is free, open source, and multiplatform.

FileZilla is a free and simple FTP software that allows both novices and expert users to connect to a server and upload files remotely.

This application is particularly rich in features and supports drag and drop, SSL and SSH protocols and allows you to resume interrupted updates and downloads, including for large files (greater than 4 GB). Thanks to the integrated site manager, you can access more quickly the addresses to which you connect on a regular basis.

Its features in linux distros:

FTP, FTPS (through SSL / TLS), and SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) are all supported by Filezilla on IPv4 and IPv6, respectively. Fast reconnections, file transfers bigger than 4 GB, and download and upload resumes are all possible with the program. It's also worth noting that transfer speed limitations can be set.

An easy-to-use tool in Linux: 

If the Filezilla interface is not the most modern, it at least has the merit of allowing quick and easy access to the software's functionalities. We particularly like the site manager which allows, once the servers, usernames and passwords entered, to connect and barely two clicks.

Finally, the Filezilla FTP client has the good taste of being multilingual and available in French.
