FLAP is a cloud-based File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client that allows you to transfer files between your machine and remote servers. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install FLAP on FreeBSD, the latest version. Here are the steps:
Before you start the installation process, you should have the following prerequisites in place:
FLAP requires the following dependencies to be installed on your FreeBSD machine:
To install these dependencies, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pkg install php73 curl openssh
This command will install all the required dependencies in one go.
Now we need to download the latest version of FLAP. To download it, go to the following URL:
https://www.flap.cloud/download
Download the file which matches your FreeBSD machine's architecture.
After downloading the file, we need to extract the files from the archive. To do that, run the following command:
tar -xzvf flap_version_x.x.x_freebsd.tar.gz
Replace the x.x.x with the version of FLAP that you have downloaded.
This command will extract the files from the archive.
To install FLAP, we need to move the extracted files to an appropriate location. For example, we can move the files to the /usr/local/bin directory. To do that run the following command:
sudo mv flap /usr/local/bin
This command will move the FLAP executable to the /usr/local/bin directory.
To verify that FLAP is installed correctly, run the following command:
flap --version
This command will show the version of FLAP that is installed on your machine.
