On a side side note, try lftp... it beats the pants off ncftp. Amongst my favorite lftp features: - http and sftp protocol support - backgroundable jobs (multiple jobs in one lftp session) - lftp has a very cool mirror feature - lftp uses readline, which is far better than the homegrown ncftp editor There are probably other enhancements I take for granted because I switched away from ncftp years ago. -Bart
