Hi
Have just bought an Asus Eee PC which has linux installed.
I want to use coffee cup ftp on it as i use it to work on my website.
I downloaded it but it won't open on this system. is there a version for linux???

Currently, CoffeeCup apps are only written for Windows. If you really want DirectFTP to work in Linux, your best bet is to try installing Wine or Crossover.
If you're not yet familiar with the Linux environment, it may be easier to try an FTP app that's designed for Linux like gFTP or FireFTP, which are free naturally. I've used gFTP which does the job.
