I have used all, and ftpcopy is very better than wget for making mirrors of ftp sites, simpler to use and faster.
I can't use scp for access anonymous ftp...
ncftpget does not have much options.
ftpcopy is good to mirroring redhat files, because they change the dates without changing the files, I can specify to
ignore date changes. Also the new version have a security key for limiting the number of deletes each time I run. In
the case of problem in server that gives an empty directory it will not delete everything (this happened one time in the
redhat ftp site)
