wlFxp multiplatform FTP client

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfxp/

I have been enthusiastic about certain software quite rarely, but this one HAS to be an exheption...
1. It's a tiny (130 KB) javabean, which means it should work under any OS using JRE (Win32, Linux, Unix, Solaris, MacOS...).
2. The project is just TWENTY days old, I check it from day one, and the developer (one-man-show) updates+ uploads new versions faster than I download. Updating is trivial, as in most java apps: delete the old bean, replace with the new one and ready to go- old settings etc stay intact in the java autocreated folder.
3. It's (very loosely) based on the FlashFXP GUI, and unlike other java applications it's extremely responsive and stable. No bugs either, the set of features is already very good but expect some new to be added soon.
In short, an absolutely stunning opensource project- we need more like that.
 
Okay.............. Noobie question

How do you get it to work ?

I know you love command line apps, but for someone who knows jack s**t about java a little help would be appreciated.

TIA

LOL! :D
You need Java Runtime Environment (some version) installed, or better (an SDK version). Then simply rightclick the .jar file, pick "open with..." and put in "java -jar" (without the quotes). Under windows you can also pick the "javaw" executable instead. That's all...
