NcFTP 3.2.1

The purpose of ncftp is to provide a powerful and flexible interface to the Internet standard File Transfer Protocol. It is intended to replace the stock ftp program that comes with the system.
Although the program appears to be rather spartan, youll find that ncftp has a wealth of valuable performance and usage features. NcFTP is created with an emphasis on usability, and it does as much as it can for you automatically in order to do what you expect to do with a file transfer program, which is transfer files between two interconnected systems.
Some of the cooler features include progress meters, filename completion, command-line editing, background processing, auto-resume downloads, bookmarking, cached directory listings, host redialing, working with firewalls and proxies, downloading entire directory trees, etc., etc.
The ncftp distribution comes with the useful utility programs ncftpget(1) and ncftpput(1) which were designed to do command-line FTP. In particular, they are very handy for shell scripts. This version of ncftp no longer does command-line FTP, since the main ncftp program is more of a browser-type program.
Enhancements:
- Now a little more tolerant of FTP servers who send their internal network IP addresses in their PASV response. When this is detected, it will be ignored and the data connection will connect to the same IP that is used for the control connection.
- Resuming of uploads can now work for servers that do not support REST + STOR. The APPE command will be used instead.
- Fixed problem with Resume All [R!] in ncftp, which was just appending to subsequent files rather than resuming them. (Thanks, Terry Brown)
- ncftpput for version 3.2.0 did not work correctly when both -f and -c/-C were used. This has now been fixed. In addition, the host command line argument is optional then the config file specifies the host.
- Various small fixes.
