It's a console ftp client, but it has *many* features that aren't present in the default ftp client. Here is a short list of some of the cool features: 1. Bookmarking of ftp sites/directories. 2. While browsing, you can do bash-like tab string completion. This is awesome. 3. You can elect to save usernames/passwords. 4. Automatic logging into anonymous sites. No need to type "anonymous" and "foo at bar.com" each time. -Erik _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
