Summary : A Comfortable FTP Program
Description :
This program has been in service on UNIX systems since 1991 and is a
popular alternative to the standard FTP program, /usr/bin/ftp. NcFTP
offers many ease-of-use and performance enhancements over the stock FTP
client, and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms as well as
operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X.

Well, AFAICT it has disappeared between SuSE 10.0 and 10.2. I have packages
named lftp and lukemftp (which are installed); YaST also shows, among "FTP
clients", gftp, tftp and yafc; but the only available packages (in category
"zzzAll") whose name starts "nc" are ncpfs, ncurses and ncurses-devel.
/usr/bin/ftp is actually a link, /bin/ftp -> /etc/alternatives/ftp ->
/usr/bin/pftp where pftp comes from the "lukemftp" package which is "the
enhanced ftp client in NetBSD"
Best regards,
Tony.
