Home : Projects : FTPull : Download
Here you can download various versions of FTPull. I recommend the latest version, v2.4.5; I can see no reason to use an older version as all that separates one 2.4.x release from the next is a collection of bug fixes. Most versions are available as a Windows 'binary' (actually a source package, but with a wizard-based installer) and as 'sources'.
Versions prior to 2.0 are fairly pointless now and are not included here. If that's a problem for anyone, I'll dig them out and add them.
Important: The Windows installer sets up FTPull for you quite conveniently, but you do still need to install Tcl/Tk on your system separately, ideally first. You can get a 'batteries included' binary with a setup wizard from ActiveState. Most Linux distributions will provide a more convenient way of installing Tcl/Tk via their package management utilities.
