About:
Yafc is a command-line FTP client that provides a robust interface for transferring files over a network. It supports advanced features like SFTP via SSH, directory recursion, and scripting capabilities. This makes it a powerful tool for automating file management tasks directly from the terminal.
Key Features:
  • Supports SFTP via SSH for secure file transfers
  • Recursive directory transfers (get/put)
  • Command scripting and batch processing
  • Bookmarks for managing server connections
Use Cases:
  • Automating backups to remote FTP/SFTP servers
  • Managing files on a remote server from the command line
  • Scripting bulk file transfers in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • lftp – lftp is a more feature-rich client with support for more protocols, while yafc is focused and lightweight.
  • curl – curl is a general-purpose data transfer tool, whereas yafc provides a more interactive, ftp-client-specific shell experience.
