I wanted to ad a line that helps me a great deal, as I get tired of
watching a ftp screen that sits there with nothing happening for 
long periods of time. The hash command will change it so that 
the system prints a hash mark (#) every 1k of transfered data, so that 
you know how the system is progressing on that transfer. I usually
type the hash command right after setting the mode to binary.
