* Ncftp has problems with wu-ftpd if you try to get a directory foo/ as
* foo.tar.gz.
Well, the question is: how easy is this to fix? Actually blindly
getting /path1/path2/dir.tar.gz is not a very good idea, as it will
include all the pathnames in the tar file.
Do you think we can change ncftp to issue a CWD command first?
Andrew, are you there? :)
Satoshi
P.S. Another solution is to do a "(echo $dir; echo get $file) | ncftp
-N $site" sort of thing in bsd.port.mk, but I'm not sure if we
want to make it this complicated....
