PP.NET
PP.NET or Phat Planet.NET is a file transfer application (an FTP client) currently under development that runs on Windows-based and Unix-like systems using the same binary. This is because it is written for the .NET Framework which can be run on many platforms using Mono.
Phat Planet.NET has a fairly unique interface for an FTP client. Rather than issuing commands to the program on the machine on which it was launched, clients create a socket connection to the application, which acts as a server. This interface allows FTP control from a variety of applications, from telnet clients to psybnc (for which native support is provided by mimicking an eggdrop login script.)
At this time PP.NET only supports FXP transfers (server-to-server) but it is intended to add normal FTP download/upload support in the future.
