On a side side note, try lftp... it beats the pants off ncftp.

Amongst my favorite lftp features:
 - http and sftp protocol support
 - backgroundable jobs (multiple jobs in one lftp session)
 - lftp has a very cool mirror feature
 - lftp uses readline, which is far better than the homegrown ncftp editor

There are probably other enhancements I take for granted because I
switched away from ncftp years ago.
