I couldn't find an archive for this mailing list, so I appologize if this has 
already been answered.

LFTP is generally a very quiet program.  It prints out very nice and concise 
status messages.  But sometimes I want to be able to see server banners and 
other messages from the server itself, and I can't find an option to enable 
this.

For example, when I log in, many servers print out a message with instructions 
for downloading or descriptions of directories.  Unless the server stores a 
copy of that message in a normal file (ie., /readme.txt), it is impossible to 
read without switching to another client (which of course is not an option 
:->)

Also when a login fails, LFTP does not give any message explaining why (ie., 
"Too many users") -- it just tries to connect again.  Automatically 
reconnecting is an extremely nice feature, but some status would be nice too.

I can't find any options or command-line switches to control this.  I was 
hoping there would be a "ftp:verbose = yes" config or something like that, 
but I can't find it.

Does anyone know how to achieve this?  Is this on the slate for future 
development?  Thanks!
