Even if you only ftp occasionally, it is worth your -time to install ncftp (or atleast bug your sysadmin to). If you won't take -my word for it, just ask around, or extract this archive and read the -man page. - -1.6.0 is an "evolutionary" upgrade, which consolidates all the previous -patches and adds a little. 1.6 and 1.5 are "interim" versions between -2.0 which has been suspended indefinitely due to time constraints. - -Major changes since 1.5.6: - -* Built-in support for the "term" package, used by Linux, etc. - -* SCO Xenix, Besta, AIX 2, AIX 3, Dynix/PTX support - -* Better ISC Unix support. - -* Several bug fixes. - - -Major changes since 1.0.2: - -* Supports the Getline (input-edit) and GNU Readline command-line - editing and history libraries. - -* Supports the Socks firewall library, and another firewall gateway - implementation. - -* Terrific new "recent-sites" file that automatically saves the - sites you call; when you open a site in the recent-sites file - (of course you can abbreviate the names), you start in the - same directory you were in last time. - -* Improved on-line help, and tips on how to use the program better - are printed each time you run the program. - -* Rewritten man page. - -* Faster ascii transfers. - -* Typing 'open' by itself lists all the sites the program knows - about (the ones in your .netrc and the recent-sites list) so - you can just pick one. - -* Enhanced colon-mode, that can dump a file to stdout (ftpcat mode) - or to a pager. (i.e. ncftp -c wu:/README >/dev/null). - -* You can choose whether an open is anonymous by default (like it - had always been) or a user login by default by setting a new - program variable. - -* Bugs fixed. - -Read the enclosed file, v2_Notes, which explains why I won't be -able to work on the nearly finished, and much improved v2.0. - |
