minimal is clearly referred to the UI, and not the ~50MB download.

Nice work.<p>Does it support SFTP too? From a operational perspective FTP itself should be avoided for anything except public drop-box applications (IMHO).<p>Also, best practice in node.js (and electron too) is to not put your node_modules folder in Git. You should add it to a &#x27;.gitignore&#x27; file.

Okay, but why? No offense, but do we really need another FTP client in 2016?

Isn&#x27;t there some moral violation here? The app looks great but we really really should not be encouraging people to use FTP. Anyone using FTP should feel weight of a thousand suns of shame.

I am not a fan of the way you have copied and pasted code from multiple Github Gists and&#x2F;or StackOverflow without attribution.

&quot;minimal&quot;, &quot;electron&quot; ???<p>So running an entire web browser, separate from your actual web browser is minimal?

Lots of harsh language in this thread. Calling things awful, horrible and garbage isn&#x27;t advancing the discussion in any sort. Stay civil.

If you&#x27;re targeting Windows, I&#x27;d recommend writing a GUI in PHP-Desktop, if you know PHP and can handle working with IE8 without destroying your PC in anger... The binaries are only 5MB + your code, and it works pretty well.

I noticed it&#x27;s phoning home to Google to do tracking. Is there a way to opt out of that?

Isn&#x27;t one of the selling points of electron that it&#x27;s cross platform, whenever I find a good app it&#x27;s never available for the OS where I&#x27;d use it.

This looks great! I really like the old school style.

when I entered info it said connected to servername but then nothing happened. Could not get list of files.

Must we wreck all the high quality GUIs we had and replace them with non-standardized, ugly and bloated Electron garbage?<p>This would be a much better use for Qt than Electron. But I guess that&#x27;s not hip enough anymore.
