The latest version of ncftp, 3.1.4, was released on 2 July. It fixed the problems with not being able to do a 'ls' or 'dir' on certain servers. If you go to <http://www.ncftp.org> and download the binaries you can just replace the existing ones in /usr/bin. The only new one is ncftpspooler and I don't know -- yet -- what that does. HTH, Rich
