List of FTP Clients Available in Ubuntu Linux
FTP is a file transfer protocol for exchanging files over any TCP/IP based network to manipulate files on another computer on that network regardless of which operating systems are involved (if the computers
permit FTP access). There are many existing FTP client and server programs. FTP servers can be set up
anywhere between game servers, voice servers, internet hosts, and other physical servers.

Fix boot GUI resolution in Ubuntu
1. Open a terminal and type:
sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf
This will ask you for your userpasswd, so you can edit that file with root permissions.
You will get something like this:
# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.
xres=640
yres=480
OR
# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.
2. Adjust xres and yres to your tagrgeted resolution, e.g. for 1280x1024:
# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.
xres=1280
yres=1024
Save via
3. You now must update your initramfs so the changes take effect:
sudo update-initramfs -u
4. Finish. Enjeoy your well-sized usplash-boot-screen

Howto Setup Vidalia TOR GUI with Ubuntu
Tor is the open source leader to anonymous connections on the internet, you can anonymize your internet presence from AIM/ICQ/MSN/ Jabber/IRC/WWW/FTP and you can even issue a torify command at the command prompt to anonymize your wget/ssh/lynx/ftp/perl or whatever. Basically tor is for the people by the people, it is only alive because we make it so, we can choose to use it freely or use it freely and help it out by running a server on your computer to make the internet safer. Basically tor encrypts your data communications through chained/linked proxies all over the internet.
Vidalia is a cross-platform controller GUI for Tor, built using the Qt framework. Using Vidalia, you can start and stop Tor, view the status of Tor at a glance, and monitor Tor’s bandwidth usage. Vidalia also makes it easy to contribute to the Tor network by helping you set up and manage your own Tor server.
Vidalia runs on most platforms supported by Qt 4.1 or later, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux or other Unix variants using the X11 window system.
Prepare your system
sudo apt-get install libevent
Now you need to get the latest tor source code from here
wget http://www.torproject.org/dist/tor-0.2.0.22-rc.tar.gz
tar zxvf tor-0.2.0.22-rc.tar.gz
cd tor-0.2.0.22-rc
./configure
make
sudo make install
Install Vidalia GUI
You need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following lines
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/adnarim/ubuntu gutsy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/adnarim/ubuntu gutsy main
Save and exit the file
Update the source list
sudo apt-get update
Install vidalia
sudo apt-get install vidalia
Once installed press alt F2 and open the run prompt and type in “vidalia” without the quotes, this will start tor, vidalia and you can configure tor/vidalia by right clicking on the tray applet and click on settings, right there you can view all the nodes and choose what to connect to, see node uptimes, os’s and locations with a graphical map.
For web browsing in firefox I prefer using an extention named FoxyProxy it works well with firefox and swiftfox, you can grab this extention directly from here
If you prefer stronger anonymity & protection I strongly Suggest Torbutton for firefox you can download from here
Install the addon and go through the Tor wizard and it will set you up for you and you can view which tor nodes you connect through actively via vidalia
Speed Tweaks for tor
Lets get to editing our torrc so we can improve the speed!
gedit ~/.vidalia/torrc
Paste this at the beginning of the torrc:
# Set the Tor Circuit Build time to find faster tor servers, increments of seconds
CircuitBuildTimeout 2
# connections while Tor is not in use.
KeepalivePeriod 60
# Force Tor to consider whether to build a new circuit every NUM seconds.
NewCircuitPeriod 15
# Set How many entry guards we should we keep at a time
NumEntryGuards 8
