I've updated lftp to latest upstream version 2.6.8.
I've also fixed a buggy postinstall script that was causing setup to
lock up.
lftp is an ftp client that supports many protocols: ftp, ftps, http,
https, hftp, fish and file. lftp also has readline support (ie
tab-completion and history like bash and ncftp). Using lftp with the
fish protocol makes it a convenient substitute for sftp.
Here's a list of changes since 2.6.6 (from the lftp homepage):
# Version 2.6.8 - 2003-10-10
Some bugs fixed, some new features added.
* better multibyte character support.
* experimental ftp protocol command PRET added; new setting
ftp:use-pret.
* unblock SIGCLD signal when running external programs.
* fixed included readline compilation.
* fixed compilation with socks.
# Version 2.6.7 - 2003-08-29
Some bugs fixed, some new features added.

* optimized writing to local disk by increasing write size.
* fixed size catching from 150 ftp server reply.
* correct exit code of commands help, lftp (reported by trancefx).
* hftp improvements from Johannes Zellner: CSM proxy support;
colored listings; do not print hour:minute if not known.
* translations updated.
* fixed a bug with saving last working directory for a site.
* fixed a bug with FXP of zero sized files.
* fixed a bug happening when a 5xx reply is received after QUIT is
sent.
