NCFTP 3 has MAJOR feature update since NCFTP 2.x. Nobody up until now
bothered to port NCFTP 3. This is however only beta 19. The two most
noticeable features is upload resume (about the only ftp client capable
of this around) and nice ncftpput.exe and other shell utilities useful
for scripts.
I have done the strict minimum porting this. I used readline 2.1 and
bsd curses since no one ported ncurses to OS/2 and I don't feel like
doing it, interested? So there are probably things that are broken.
Always use "/" as directory seperator, "\" WILL NOT WORK. and BSD
curses seems to suck... The main library could be compiled into a DLL
like unix .so files to save space.

Source code compiling
=====================
get source code at http://www.ncftp.com/download/. I'm not used to
using diff files yet, so here's the modifications I had to do to compile
it with EMX 0.9d, BASH 2.0 and GNU Make 3.75.
sh.exe in /bin
search and replace all "conftest" by "conftest.exe" in configure. It
gives about 500 matches... but trust me, it works!
set CC=gcc
sh configure
modify main makefile
CFLAGS=-Zexe ...
modify all makefiles
replace ranlib by ar -s or make a ranlib.cmd wrapper for ar -s
/bin/ls -> ls or copy ls.exe to /bin
/bin/rm -> rm or copy rm.exe to /bin
modify -lncftp to -llibncftp
modify -lStrn to -llibStrn
modify lstat -> stat in glob.c ?
I had to rem out line 70 of curses.h
make
