According to, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ftp&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.0-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html looks like, progress may be the ticket. Personally, I haven't used ftp in about 7 years. If I need a file from an ftp server, I use the fetch command on a FreeBSD server/workstation to retrieve it. The fetch command has a progress bar & it is lightning quick :-)) I can always scp the retrieved file to any nix system on my LAN. BTW, IIRC you don't need an FTP server handy to play with. You can retrieve a file, via ftp from the cli, off any ftp server on the internet. > > > >> Try lftp, which is part of FC, or ncftp, which is in Extras.
