The NT FTP client works just fine for me, > so why would I need NcFTP? NcFTP is a freeware client, NcFTPd is a _very_ good and _very_ _very_ cheap server by the same author (pricing starts at $US 5). You don't need NcFTP for anything if the NT ftp client works for you. The screen updates will be slower in NcFTP, however on the plus side you'll get access to the cygwin32 (posix style I guess) paths, you'll get a more visual display, a macro language, resume, bookmarks, better online help, and tips of the day. But if you're happy with the NT client.. ;-) - alex - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
