Package: ncftp Version: 2.1.0 It is very easy to confuse ncftp into refusing to allow ^Z to suspend the process.
One way I have done this follows (hard to represent visual mode, sorry): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ncftp > o ftp.debian.org > cd /debian/debian-1.0/source Now ^Z won't suspend the session any more. Interestingly, ^Z worked before the last typed command. There are several other sequences of ncftp commands that will also suspend ^Z. Strangely, ^Z generally works just when the program is first started. Also, ^W doesn't work, readline only partially works. Hmm, so much is wrong one might suspect curses or ncurses. I haven't even created a .netrc or .ncftprc config file yet - this is virgin debian ncftp. This is under debian 0.93R6, kernel 1.2.13, and libc 4.6.27. -- Christopher J.
