One minor niglet in ftp that has always caught me is that you can't reopen a closed connection without an explicit close first. For instance:
$ ftp ftp.gnu.org ... # wait a few minutes, so the connection gets closed. ftp> open ftp.gnu.org Already connected to ftp.gnu.org, use close first. Well, I knew that, that's why I wanted to reopen :). If the connection is already closed, is there any harm in just going forward? I realize it's not exactly trivial, since it means `open' has to somehow get the state of the connection before issuing the message, but hopefully that's ultimately feasible? Just a suggestion ...
