As you probably know, tons of software can be installed in Ubuntu 20.04 right from the command line via apt or from the Ubuntu Software application on Ubuntu’s desktop. The way this works is that Ubuntu will query a repository which contains links to the various software you may wish to install. It searches for the package you specify, and then downloads and installs it.
Although Ubuntu’s default package archive contains some of the most common software people need, a lot of times it’s necessary to install a package using a PPA repository. No problem there, except these PPA repositories don’t remove themselves unless you do it manually. After a while, your system could be querying a lot of irrelevant PPA repositories every time you install or update software. In this guide, we’ll show you how to list and delete the PPA repositories on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa.

NTP stands for National Time Protocol and is used for clock synchronization across multiple computers. An NTP server is responsible for keeping a set of computers in sync with each other. On a local network, the server should be able to keep all client systems to within a single millisecond of each other.
Such a configuration would be necessary if, for example, the systems needed to start or stop a task in unison at a precise time. In this article, we’ll show you how to configure an NTP server on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa and how to configure a client system to sync its system time with said server.

When it comes to FTP clients, there’s no shortage of choices available on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa. Variety is nice, but it makes it a little more challenging to select the very best tool for the job. We hope to make that decision easier for you in this guide as we look at some of the most popular FTP clients available and compare their features.
Selecting an FTP client can depend on many factors, especially since some only support basic FTP functionality and other clients may support additional protocols such as SFTP, SMB, AFP, DAV, SSH, FTPS, NFS, etc. Whatever your requirements may be, you’ll be able to make an informed decision after reading our breakdown of the different software.
