Third Party Tools

A variety of people have written some excellent tools and clients for use with Freenet.

Freenet Publishing & Retrieval Tools

FreeWeb

FreeWeb allows websites to be inserted into Freenet. This is the tool used by the vast majority of website authors in Freenet.

FCPTools

FCPTools provide the same functionality as Freeweb, but without the GUI. Working platforms include MS-Windows, Linux, BSD, and perhaps others. An ANSI-C based Client Lib (ezFCPlib) is also included for developers to aid in writing Freenet clients.

Message Board Tools

Freenet Message Board You must be running Freenet for this link to work

FMB is an excellent Usenet-like tool which allows secure messages to be exchanged via Freenet, it is somewhat similar to Frost, but employs a more sophisticated "outbox" based approach.

Frost

Frost is a file-sharing tool for Freenet, it also has chat forums which allow people to chat anonymously over Freenet.

FreeNews

FreeNews is a gateway between a NNTP and Freenet news service, based on the Frost TOF boards with some extentions. It allows you to use your favorite news reader to access TOF bulletins.

Misc Tools

Liberator

Liberator is the old-school unix command-line client designed to be easy to script (or cron). It's written in perl so it should be as portable as needed.
