- .description
- NcFTP is a user interface to the Internet standard File Transfer
- Protocol. 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.
-
- The program runs in one of three modes: visual mode, line mode, and
- colon mode.
-
- If your system is somewhat modern, the default mode should be visual
- mode. This is a full-screen interface that uses the curses library.
- With visual mode, you edit the program's settings with a nice screen
- interface instead of typing arcane commands.
-
- If you are not in visual mode, you will be using line mode for the
- interactive shell. This mode is a no-frills command-line interface
- that will look like the default ftp program's command shell.
-
- The third mode, colon mode, refers to the program's ability to do a
- quick retrieve of a file directly from your shell command line,
- without going into the program's own shell. This mode is useful for
- shell scripts.
