Development plan

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.

Roadmap

Build the core first. Expand with care.

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 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.
