Yafc is a command-line FTP program, its name an acronym for 'Yet Another FTP Client'. It is developed in and available for Linux under the GPL license, but there should be little or no problem compiling it on any nearly POSIX-compliant Unix with an ANSI C compiler. It has the following features:

cached directory listings

extensive tab completion

aliases

colored ls (IE: ls-color uses $LS_COLORS like GNU ls)

automatic reconnect on timed out connections

recursive get/put/fxp/ls/rm

nohup mode transfers

multiple connections open simultaneously

tagging (queueing)

configurable

autologin and bookmarks

automatically enters nohup-mode when SIGHUP signal is received (in get and put)

redirection to local command or file

proxy support

Kerberos support (version 4 and 5, heimdal, kth-krb or MIT)

SSH2 support (sftp)

Normal file transfer support (ftp)

Fork

In April 2011, "cpages" forked yafc on GitHub and applied some of his own patches. He then abandoned his fork. It has since been handed to "sebastinas", where development continues. They also have a new website, http://www.yafc-ftp.com/

The new team released Yafc 1.1.3 on the 1st of May, 2012.
