#2678: New package: lftp --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.4 Component: BOOK | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Keywords: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Home page: http://lftp.yar.ru/
Package type: command-line FTP client Rationale for inclusion: The book already includes a command-line FTP client, NCFTP. However, it is deficient in some ways: * NCFTP doesn't use readline and thus doesn't react correctly to line- editing keys like Home and End (Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E do work, though). lftp uses Readline and thus doesn't have this problem. * NCFTP doesn't support RFC2640 and thus doesn't allow for standards- compliant transfer of files with names containing non-ASCII characters. Moreover, the book doesn't contain such command-line FTP client at all. lftp fills this hole and is already mentioned on the "Locale Related Issues" page. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2678> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
