/usr/ports/ftp/omi (was moved from /usr/ports/net a few weeks
ago).

omi -s webserver.my.dom -r /htdocs/tree -l /local/tree \
    -u webmaster -e password

Note that it is a bad idea to use real passwords in that way,
because others can see them in the `ps` output.  You can put
the password in your ~/.omirc, for example (and make sure it
has permissions 600).

Teaching omi to accept URL syntax is on my to-do list.
