In a couple of recent posts, I showed how to quickly set up a FTP on both a Mac (How To Set Up A FTP Server on a Mac) and a Ubuntu 9.04 desktop (How To Set Up A FTP Server on Ubuntu). This post will show you how to access these or any other FTP servers using native Ubuntu 9.04 software. If you are going to use ftp on a frequent basis, it is worth investigating what added capability and ease of use third-party software might provide.
Accessing a FTP Server from Ubuntu 9.04
1) Go to Places > Connect to Server.
2) Change the Service type from Public FTP to FTP (with login). Fill in the field for Server. Click Connect.
3) Select the checkbox Connect as user. Fill in the fields for Username and Password. Click Connect.
4) You have now successfully connected to the FTP Server! You can now drag and drop files to the FTP Server. As we did not specify a folder in the previous step, we are dropped into the root folder.
This solution works well enough for me that I do not yet plan on installing a third-party product.
