We should not deny our debt to the ancestory of the original `nc`.
I tested the `ftp` facility only now, after using `mc` since DOS+nc-days.
Amazingly convenient !
Since `mc` can communicate via the 'inet-stack' can I use it to test the
<loop-back>/127.0.0.1, since my inet-connection is expensive.
I want to test a certain front-end [an also mc] for mail via some
MTA which does send-authorisation, eg. sendmail [which is a monster to
configure] so I don't have to use this inefficient web-based gmail.
BTW I think that nc's <append marked block to a file> is better than
mc's <over-write to a file>, eg. when you want to extract multiple
blocks to the same file.
And yes, the window-frame sizeS are a mess for `nc` and <console> on
the 'new Win/s', as I discovered when I had to buy a Win7 netbook to
connect via a wireless modem. IMO Win is amazingly crappy, in general.
