- DH>>> Anybody out there using mftp 1.31 ?

- I like both of them, but certainly don't consider either worth registering.
- mFTP seems rather stable (almost never crashes my machine) but is rather bug-
- ridden: alot of the time on various sites, even stable AmiNet mirrors, it
- refuses to show me the directory contents, insisting that it "Can't find the
- file that should contain the directory data!"...which is crap, since the sites
- all work with ncftp...It also refuses to acknowledge my pressing the "Abort"
- button at all...silly..
-
- AmFTP looks great, and all the features seem to work well (I like the ADT
- support), but is VERY unstable on my machine...I can't really run it for more
- than a few minutes before it gurus on me...
-
- The result? I'm still using ncftp for most of my FTPing :)
