Fast by design
A clear transfer workflow with less interface friction and fewer unnecessary layers.
In active development
File transfer without the noise.
Ghost FTP is a modern FTP, FTPS and SFTP client built for fast everyday transfers, secure connections and a clear desktop workflow. No telemetry, user tracking or advertising SDKs.
The interface shown is a development preview and may change before the first stable release.

Privacy first
0 trackers · 0 telemetry
Security first
Secure protocols, clear connection states and careful handling of local configuration.
No telemetry
No analytics SDKs, behavioural profiling or hidden usage tracking.
Designed for real work
A focused client for files, servers and transfers.
Ghost FTP is being built to make everyday remote-file work clear and predictable while keeping advanced workflows within easy reach.
Server profiles
Save and organise server profiles so reconnecting does not mean entering the same settings again.
Transfer queue
A visible, manageable queue for uploads and downloads with clear progress, status and transfer control.
Remote file management
Browse, upload, download, rename and manage remote files through an interface designed for day-to-day work.
Local-first configuration
Configuration is designed to remain under your control rather than being tied to a mandatory cloud account.
Protocol support
One client for the protocols you already use.
The desktop client is being designed around the protocols that developers, administrators and hosting users already rely on.
SFTP
SSH File Transfer Protocol
Planned
Planned support for encrypted file transfer over SSH.
FTPS
FTP over TLS
Core support
FTP protected with TLS.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol
Compatibility
Classic FTP for compatible legacy and hosting environments.
The current Windows security profile documents FTP and FTPS. SFTP remains planned and is not presented as already implemented.

Roadmap
Build the core first. Expand with care.
The roadmap uses development stages rather than artificial completion percentages. A platform moves forward when security, transfers, installation and core usability are stable enough for the next phase.
In development
01
Windows
Windows is the primary desktop target. The transfer engine, interface quality, security and stability are the current priorities.
Active development
Testing
02
Linux
Porting and compatibility work are focused on reliable behaviour across supported Linux distributions.
Early phase
Planned
03
macOS · Android · iOS · Web
macOS, Android, iOS and a web version are planned once the desktop core is sufficiently mature.
Development plan
Release centre
Your Ghost FTP download will live here.
Stable builds will be published here only after platform testing is complete. Until then, each platform card shows its current release status so there are no placeholder files or broken download links.
Windows
In active development
Primary desktop release
The first stable desktop build is being prepared with transfer reliability, interface quality, security and predictable behaviour as the release gates.
Coming soon
Linux
Testing
Desktop compatibility
Linux builds are being tested across the supported desktop workflow before public packages are made available.
Coming soon
macOS

Planned desktop release
macOS support is planned after the desktop core reaches the stability level required for another production platform.

Future platforms
Mobile and web editions remain part of the longer-term plan and will follow the mature desktop foundation.
LaterWhen a release is ready, this section will point to the official package, version information and release notes on ghostftp.com. Until then, the download state remains clearly marked as Coming soon.

Practical workflows
Built for the work around your servers.
Ghost FTP is being shaped around common file-transfer jobs instead of decorative complexity: deploying websites, maintaining remote servers, working with hosting accounts and moving archives safely.
Website deployment
Move site builds, assets and configuration files between your workstation and a remote web server with a clear transfer queue.
Server administration
Browse remote directories, manage files and keep frequently used server profiles organised for repeat work.
Hosting workflows
Work with shared hosting, VPS and dedicated-server environments through familiar FTP, FTPS and SFTP connections.
Migration and backups
Transfer archives, project folders and backup packages while keeping progress and connection state visible.
Ghost FTP principles
Less collection. More control.
No mandatory account for the core file-transfer workflow.
No telemetry, behavioural analytics, fingerprinting or advertising trackers.
A clear desktop interface designed for professional, everyday use.
A security and stability mindset that favours predictable behaviour over unnecessary complexity.
Release philosophy
Production quality before a download button.
The goal is not to publish a build simply because it launches. Ghost FTP is being developed around a small set of release principles that make everyday server work safer and easier to understand.
Secure by default
Protocol security, clear connection state and careful credential handling are treated as core product concerns.
Predictable transfers
Progress, queue state, failures and retries should be understandable instead of hidden behind vague activity indicators.
Useful error feedback
Connection and transfer failures should surface actionable information that helps identify what went wrong.
User control
Core file-transfer work is being designed without hidden telemetry or a mandatory cloud account.
Questions before release
What to know about Ghost FTP.
Is Ghost FTP available now?
Ghost FTP is still in active development. Windows is the primary desktop target, while Linux compatibility work is also under way. The roadmap is an indicator of progress, not a release-date promise.
Will Ghost FTP support SFTP?
Yes. SFTP, FTPS and FTP are the core protocol targets shown on the current roadmap, with SFTP providing encrypted file transfer over SSH.
Does Ghost FTP collect telemetry?
The public website uses no analytics or telemetry scripts. The product is also being designed around a no-hidden-tracking principle, with core file-transfer settings intended to remain under the user’s control.
Are Linux, macOS, mobile and web versions planned?
Linux is in an earlier testing and compatibility phase. macOS, Android, iOS and a web version are planned after the desktop core is sufficiently mature.
Will an account be required?
The core file-transfer workflow is being designed without a mandatory account. If future online services introduce separate account requirements, those requirements will be documented explicitly.
Coming soon
Ghost FTP is taking shape.
