I'm curious about this last note. I had never noticed this command before (I got used to ftp using Novell's LAN WorkPlace for DOS which probably didn't support this feature -- or possibly just failed to document it). Is this also support in ncftp? Is it supported in lynx? (I suppose it would have to be "transparent" or "interactive" since I've never seen them listed in the man pages or help files for either of these -- and a quick search on 'reget' didn't turn anything up). I'm also curious as to whether webservers or clients support such a request through http. A friend of mine mentioned that he'd seen something in one of his http access logs that suggested that some client was attemting to specify a byte offset into a file (using something like GET foo/bar.gif:xxxx or GET foo/bar.gif;xxxx -- I don't remember).
