Version 1.40 of NFTP is available.
NFTP is a powerful interactive textmode ftp client for BeOS Intel,
FreeBSD, Linux, OS/2, Solaris (SPARC) and Windows 95/98/NT.
Main features of NFTP are:
remote directory view is fully scrollable with minimum keystrokes required;
remote directory contents is cached during one session -- you'll never have
to wait for retrieving the same listing;
marking files for download/upload: you don't need to type filenames at all;
remote file viewing is simple and intelligent, and viewed files are
cached as well;
you can see client-server negotiation (even complete history during
all runs);
NFTP has batch progress indicator (you see how long the entire operation
will take if more than one file was selected to transfer);
file selection is simple and allows to view remote files while
marking others to transfer;
you can skip files during transfer while continuing to
download/upload the rest;
you can mark files in different directories and then retrieve them
all, keeping directory structure (therefore you can transfer
entire directory trees);
NFTP automatically downloads 00index.txt/FILES.BBS/etc. and shows
file descriptions;
NFTP reconnects to ftp server as needed -- you'll no longer worry
about timeouts and dropped connections;
you can sort remote directories by name, size, date/time;
two-level hierarchical bookmark system is quick and efficient;
configurable history keeps track of all sites you visit and allows
to recall them instantly;
comprehensive transfer logging;
interface to external download programs (e.g. GNU wget);
available on multiple platforms with the same user interface
(BeOS Intel, FreeBSD, Linux, OS/2, Solaris, Windows 95/NT);
comes in English, Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese,
Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese,
Norwegian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian versions.

NFTP is shareware, so you have to pay for it to transfer files larger than
1024KB. The registration fee is $25. Unix and BeOS versions are free until 1
February 1999. The fastest and safest way to register is via BMT Micro
(http://www.bmtmicro.com). One registration covers all versions (including
future ones) on all platforms.
