Paraget implements getting a single file in parallel from different mirror
sites.
Given that there are mirror-sites for the file one is downloading, one can
in principle accomplish a much greater bandwidth by downloading from all
the sites in parallel . This is accomplished by dividing the file being
fetched into several pieces, and by getting each piece from a different
server, and then re-assembling them.
If there are enough mirror sites, this partitioning makes it so that the
bottleneck is now placed at the client end, maxing the client's connection.
Paraget is designed to not only do basic n -equal-piece partitioning of a
file and sending requests out to n servers for data, but to also be dynamic
during the downloading process. For example if one server is too slow, and
paraget was done with faster server downloading its piece
BSDftpd-ssl is the secure FTP server that supports industry standard TLS/SSL
encryption and authentication for whole FTP sessions and data transfers. This
implementation is compatible with the original FTP protocol, which is described
in RFC 959, and the TLS/SSL enhancement allows RFC 2228-compliant TLS/SSL
protection for both control and data channels.
This package contains the secure FTP server, the command-line TLS/SSL-aware FTP
client utility, an essential documentation, and also script programs for a
basic X.509 certificate management.
Ftpmirror is an utility to copy directory hierarchy
(this is called ``mirror'') with FTP.
A similar perl script exists, whose name is `mirror',
but ftpmirror requires less memory than mirror.

Pavuk is UNIX program used to mirror contents of WWW documents or files. It
transfers documents from HTTP, FTP, Gopher and optionaly from HTTPS (HTTP
over SSL) servers. Pavuk has an optional GUI based on GTK2 widget set.
Scythia is an simple and portable Ftp client. It does not claim
to be able to replace the biggest (no SSH etc.), but only to
satisfy some persons and to give us a bigger experience in
programming.
This is frox, a transparent ftp proxy by James Hollingshead.
Current features include:
o rfc959 compliant transparent proxying of ftp connections.
o active --> passive mode conversion for data connections.
o Optional caching support either locally or through an external
HTTP cache.
o Optional virus scanning
o Optional non-transparent proxy support by logging in with
user@host:port.
o Options to bind to a specific interface, chroot, and drop
priveleges for security.
LFTP is a shell-like command line ftp client. It is
reliable: can retry operations and does reget automatically.
It can do several transfers simultaneously in background.
You can start a transfer in background and continue browsing
the ftp site or another one. This all is done in one process.
Background jobs will be completed in nohup mode if you exit
or close modem connection. Lftp has reput, mirror, reverse
mirror among its features.
MultiGet is an easy-to-use GUI file downloader for Linux/Unix/BSDs/Windows.
It's programmed by C++ and GUI is based on wxWidgets. It supports http/ftp
protocol which covers most user's requirement. It supports multi-task with
multi-thread on multi-server. It supports resume download if server side have
resume feature, and if you like, you can reconfig the thread number without
stopping the going task. It's also support SOCKS 4, 4a, 5 proxy, ftp proxy,
http proxy.
ftplib is a set of routines that implement the FTP protocol. They allow
applications to create and access remote files through function calls
instead of needing to fork and exec an interactive ftp client program.
