FTP Client / Package

I am looking for a basic FTP client.
I simply just want to be able to download logfiles from my windows machine.
Does anyone recomend one? And can provide me with some basic instructions and config to get it working.

Hey Karol, Doesn’t that just work from the Linux machine? As in downloading stuff to the Linux box?

This is a linux forum so I assumed you want — for some reason — «download logfiles from my windows machine» to your linux box — the other way round.
There apparently is wget for Windows but I’ve never used it and I don’t know whether it works http://users.ugent.be/

There is a wget for Windows, I use it and it’s, so far, worked flawlessly for me.

I got it using the getgnuwin32 application to get the whole shebang: http://getgnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

I’ve used gnuwin32, but for some reason I used http://www.cybershade.us/winwget/ instead of the gnu one.

If I’m understanding this post right.. Have you tried Filezilla?

If you’re reading this; you’re awesome.

Sorry i am not sure if this is clear or not.

Surely i have to install a package onto my Arch Linux machine to turn it into an FTP server before i have to decide on a tool to use from windows such as Filezilla etc. Or does this functionality come as standard with Arch Linux?

Are both computers on a local network or do you want do download the files from your linux box over the internet?
If you want some specific files from your linux box, you can e-mail them to yourself e.g. every hour:
