NCFTP
=====

Ncftp is a ftp client which has some nice features. See ncftp.man for
ncftp specific question.

Amiga porting notes:
	RC-Files are searched for in "s:".

	You may try to set "set ansi-escapes on" inside ncfp to
	get a bar describing the state of the transmission.

	I did this port using SAS/C 6.3.
	Since AmiTCP's sockets are not integrated into the SAS/C stdio
	stuff I took the following approach:
	All calls to unix-level/stream-level file functions are replaced
	with calls to my functions which call the needed functions.
	This layer is implemented as far as I needed it in amiga/s_socket.c.

	mget and mput should function.
	Shell escapes via "!command" are supported.
