I have MacTCP installed on one of our machines, and we are using NCSA's
Telnet program which was designed for MacTCP.  Where is their FTP program?
With NCSA2.2 Telnet, we could start an FTP session on the remote machine
and transfer files back to the Mac.  With this newer TCP version, you have
to have a name/password file installed.  Damn annoying and inconvenient,
it is!  We can no longer FTP _in_, as well as out.  Where is the FTP?
