Original source is at http://astro.temple.edu/~yxue , and a '97 paper re-implementing it is at http://renoir.vill.edu/~yhang . It looks like ports/ftp/ncftp3 has all the features of bftp (scheduled background transfers, auto-resume, multiple file xfers) except it doens't email the user then the transfer is done. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
