[»] why more ftp clients ?
by Demetris - Jul 29th 2008 14:17:15

Is it better than lftp ? No offense, but that 400+ text editors and heck lot of ftp clients make me think of wheel reinventing.

Seriously... reinventing the wheel is fun... And yes I find it better than lftp for interactive use. Just like I find zsh better for interactive use compared to bash.

lftp still has it's uses(i.e. great for scripting it). yafc makes working with ftp a pleasure...

And yes... there will always be more apps that do the same thing more libs that do the same thing etc...

It's that state of: "Just because I can I will" :)

[»] simply great

it is to sftp what ncftp is to "normal" ftp.

By that I mean it makes it so much easier.

[»] New version ?
by Lordy - Aug 9th 2002 18:04:14

As far as I see there is already a "new" version on SF.net (0.7.10). I wonder if the author is announcing updates here....

[»] Nice indeed!
by fenris - Jul 6th 2002 14:19:15

I really like this piece of software. In particular the built-in name-completion for ssh, something I've really missed in other ftp-clients. And a "recursive"-option for all the apropriate functions; Hurray!
