Installation

Note that you will need the development packages of OpenSSL installed.

Ubuntu

sudo apt install libssl-dev

Fedora

dnf install openssl-devel

You may also need the pkg-config utility to find OpenSSL (at least on Debian-based systems; I'm not sure about anything else):

sudo apt install pkg-config

Cargo

Clone the repository (i.e. git clone https://github.com/benharmonics/gsftp.git), then

cargo install --path path/to/gsftp

Cargo will automatically install programs to $HOME/.cargo by default.
