Internet file transfer program
.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.
