- If your looking for a ftp client based on Motif try nxftp...
-
- Taken from the Index for the public ftp directory "pub/ncsu_motif"
- on osl.csc.ncsu.edu
-
- nxftp.1.0.tar.Z - Version 1.0 of a Motif shell for the ftp command by Buck
- Hodges. Makes connecting to anonymous ftp sites much more
- pleasurable by adding a point and click user interface,
- the ftp session. Use binary mode to transfer the file,
- since it is compressed.
