Hi Chuck, It's been a few years now, since I used the default ftp. So I cannot remember what it was lacking, that I needed at the time. I was doing remote website updates at the time. Vaguely, I seem to recall something about the 'mirror' option of lftp that I needed, but not sure. I just started using lftp and it did everything I wanted nicely, so have carried on using it. --terry On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 05:12:49AM -0500, Chuck Hallenbeck wrote: > Terry and all, > > I notice that nobody has mentioned the default ftp client, ftp, and I > am curious why not.
