It appears to be less prone to "features" than CuteFTP although it apparently needs to be on the same partition (windows at least) as the file being uploaded / downloaded. I gave up on the WS thing years ago after too much weirdness & too little interest on the part of the developers. The (Russian or Ukranian I think) guy who does nFTP has always been particularly helpful. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Syphers" To: Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2001 6:31 AM Subject: suggestions for windows ftp client? > Does anyone know a good FTP program for Windows (NT) that can actually > download from current.freebsd.org?
