Description:
NcFTP is a user interface to the Internet standard File Transfer Proto-
col. This program allows a user to transfer files to and from a remote
network site, and offers additional features that are not found in the
standard interface, ftp.
-- quoted from ncftp man page by Mike Gleason in ncftp1.73 distribution
Advertised architectures:
The program compiles "out of the box" on many systems thanks to the
configure script; the README file contains installation notes for
several problem architectures:
Linux
SunOS 4.1.3
HP/UX
FreeBSD
BSDI
NeXT
MIPS RC6280 running RISCos 2.1.1AC
Most compilation problems seem to lie with the curses library on
the various systems. The author suggests getting the ncurses library
by zmbenhal@netcom.com at ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/zm/zmbenhal/ncurses/.
-- paraphrased and quoted from the README by Mike Gleason in the
ncftp-2.3.0 distribution
