It's not. It used to be Anarchie, it used to be free (or, at least, no-nag shareware). I use ncftp: http://www.ncftpd.com/ncftp/ -- Very old woody beets will never cook tender. -- Fannie Farmer

I use rsync over ssh for updating websites (so, only those files that need updating get transferred). When I have to use FTP for such a thing I use lftp because it can read scripts and can do a rough simulation of rsync. -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://goldmark.org/jeff/ I rarely read HTML or poorly quoting posts Reply-To address is valid

The same can't be said of other FTP clients. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter.
