This is intentional. Look in distrib/miniroot:
install.sub:FTPOPTS=-V
We want the progress bar -- we just don't want any of the other noise.
I suppose with this change, and then using -Vm it could work. But that
would need testing. Especially since ftp(1) is compiled with -DSMALL.
grep SMALL /usr/src/*/ftp/*.[ch] | wc -l
265
Does anyone else find it weird that -V doesn't turn off the progress
bar?
