Apt has a builtin ftp method. I coded the interim ftp method
for APT (though my code is no longer used ;-(, and let me assure you,
APT had all the functionality (if not more) of the method it

I think APT does indeed make most of the other methods
obsolete, and we should indeed be replacing the other methods with
apt (no matter how mad it makes certain individuals ;-)
