NcFTP 2.x supports 'reget' just fine on servers that support it, and you 
just use the regular 'get' command.  The trick to build NcFTP properly is 
to first download the latest NCurses library (1.9.4) from 
ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/zm/zmbenhal/ncurses/ and compile it (as a shared 
library, preferably).  Otherwise you'll have a hard time getting the 
visual screen to work (or even compile) properly.
