[TxMt] [OT] Recommendations for good command line ftp client

[Bob Hutchison]

Hi,

ncftp is the best CLI version of ftp I've ever found (and has been  
for years). As far as I'm concerned, doing the rsync thing is just  
not worth it using ncftp, or any other ftp library, given that lftp  
is available. If you want to build a much deeper appreciation for  
both rsync and lftp, just read the lftp manual to get an idea what  
you have to contend with to make ftp work (the guy who wrote this  
must have had a hard life with really bad communications and  
unreliable hardware :-)

Cheers,
Bob
