Telnet and FTP exist as two different programs for >the MSDOS machines, doesn't it exist for the Macintosh? Where? As a simple answer - NO, there is no ftp client that I am aware of for the Mac. It should be relatively easy to make one that can go out from the mac and poke at other servers, but I haven't seen or heard of one. Given that the NCSA Telnet source code is available, and ftp client code is available, you could try to roll your own. I anyone knows of such a beast, please post. -- Gregory G.
