The 3.1.x branch of htdig only handles http:// URLs, so you won't have any luck with ftp:// URLs. If you want to try a recent snapshot of 3.2.0b4, from http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/, it has support for external transports, so you could set it up to deal with ftp:// URLs, but it would take a bit of work to write the external transport program. It may not be too difficult to write a front-end shell script that calls "wget" to fetch the FTP URL. Don't ask me how, though, because I've never written one. -- Gilles R.
