lftp is a better ftp client
Authored by: Bishop on Aug 29, '02 06:56:09PM

IMHO lftp (provided by fink) is a far superior ftp-client. <TAB> works and you have access to many nice features such as more, find and grep on the server. It also provides feedback (speed, percentage, ETA) when downloading files. If you have not tried it yet hurry and get it. It isn't even comparable with the standard 'ftp' program.

In 10.2, ftp seems to have tab completion, less, and feedback. It doesn't seem to have find/grep, but the ftp client in 10.2 is much improved over the one in 10.1 or 10.0)
