Hello. I am looking for a ftp program for the Mac. I already have NCSA
Telnet 2.2 which ftp's nicely, but you have to connect to a site (in our
case our UNIX system ) first via telnet, and then issue a ftp command. Is
there something out there that does nothing but ftp? One specific use of
this for me would be accessing the archives at SUMEX. Now, I have to use
Telnet to connect to our local UNIX machine, login, and do an ftp to the
SUMEX site, ftp files to back to our UNIX machine, disconnect from SUMEX,
and then issue an ftp command on our machine (via the Telnet application) to
get the files on to my mac. If I had an ftp program I could ftp directly to
SUMEX and put the files directly on my mac....

Thanx for your help....
