LOL that's amazing! I must admit that I never tried to use command line ftp
with NT4.0. NT4.0 distributed with IE2, right? Not that that's in anyway a
useful ftp client anyway. I think the NT I was using was SP3 on CD so it
might have been IE1 on the original NT4.0. But really that's amazing! NT3.5 I
can understand not having an ftp client, but 4.0? Heheh, I almost wanna
install it just to see it for myself! Hmmm, nahhh. ;-)
