I love DSL, but I finally had to move to Xandros due to CD burning issues I had. DSL is sweet and I will use it in the future--it was the first distro that was 95% on for me and it was a joy to work with.

So I want to use AXftp as my ftp client in Xandros. It is such a simple to use ftp client. How do I download it from the DSL mini-CD? Any tips on using it? And does anyone know what it depends on?

I have turned nothing up on other searches here.

Thanks...
Vince Panero

Since Xandros is based on Debian, use apt-get. Do an apt-get install axftp, and if that doesn't work, google axftp, dl the source and compile it.

Vince,
I don't think axftp is in the Debian repository, ( at least I could not find it).
If you are using Firefox as your browser, I would recommend downloading the FireFTP extention, I don't use any other ftp clients since using it. It's so easy to set up.
