BeWare Highlight: Kerberos FTP (Kftp)

Of course, no operating system is complete without a graphical FTP client and Kftp provides file transfer relief for BeOS users. Like the BeOS, Kftp was totally written from the ground up. Laurent Pontier started with just RFC 959: File Transfer Protocol specification, the BeOS, and the BeBook.
