It's not newer, it's the same one:

I've never tried this particular functionality. I think he warns
against it (implying you should be very careful), but it does (IIRC)
support "shelling out" while running.

There's also a Win32 command-line version of FTP under
%windir%\System32\ftp.exe . You might also be able to use
Necromancer's DOS Navigator (NDN), but it's been a few years since I
tried FTP with that.

1). http://ndn.muxe.com    (not loading, sigh)

2a). ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/utilfile/navigatr.exe
2b). ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/utilfile/navigatw.exe

Most other apps seem to use Watt-32, e.g. Wget or Links2 or similar
DJGPP stuff. IIRC, you first have to "set WATTCP.CFG=c:\utils" with
WATTCP.CFG there containing "my_ip = dhcp" (or similar). That's what I
do under my MetaDOS floppy, with packet driver, and it works.

There's also m2wat.c , which someone whipped up a few months ago.
