Endeavour's front ends are programs that provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to some common command line programs that you may use in conjunction with Endeavour to maintain drives or manage files.

All of Endeavour's front ends are located in:

- `/usr/lib/endeavour2/bin/`

Most front ends require a third party command line application (which is detected at runtime). For example, the Download Front End requires the wget program.

### Download Front End

- `/usr/lib/endeavour2/bin/download.front`

Called by Endeavour whenever a URL with a `http://` or `ftp://` prefix is dragged on to Endeavour's file browser or image browser, the Download Front End uses wget to download the specified URL while displaying a graphical progress dialog.

You can set the Download Front End program's location by going to Settings->Options->Programs.

You can also run this program without arguments to prompt the user for a url to download.
