Is something like

ncftp -N ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/bin/ls.tar.gz

supposed to work when the other side is running wu-ftpd?  It gives me
an error on my 2.0R machine (with ncftp replaced on Feb.9) and thud.

On the other hand,

echo "get /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/bin/ls.tar.gz" | ncftp -N ftp....

works....
