Just found out when I issue 'ls -t' command the sort was done
incorrectly. Typically Unix ls will report file date including hours
within the last 6 months, older than that will result in the display
of the year.
Try the following command:
cns-build2 paullew dist> lftp ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_3
cd ok, cwd=/pub/tcl/tcl8_3
lftp ftp.scriptics.com:/pub/tcl/tcl8_3> ls -t | head

lftp ftp.scriptics.com:/pub/tcl/tcl8_3>
Notice the Dec is in front of May? This is wrong!! For a moment
I thought the latest version is tk83b1.zip...
BTW, is 2.2.2 the latest version?
Also, in emacs, I can setup symbolic links:
> ln -s ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl tcl
Then I can read this file which cause the open of the ftp to that
site. Maybe this can be done by adding a switch to lftp, e.g.,
> lftp -i tcl
If argument after -i is a symlink, read the link and open that site.
One nice thing about this idea is you can have a collection of sites
stored in filesystem just like the bookmarks.
