AFAIK you can't ncftp to a file, only a directory: once you're logged in you use the get or mget commands (the latter is if you want regular expressions e.g. "mget *.rpm").

Mozilla should have spotted that as a binary file, and offered you the choice of saving it to disk.
That's what I thought, eventually. I twigged it was actually a download window, with a slider bar that eventually showed up in the mozilla window own slider bar , itself, rather in a seperate download window which it normally does. I put that down to some problem with the download site rather than mozilla itself which as I say normally does hand over to the download window setup.
But I've seen that too when using mozilla. Have you tried reloading the URL on the location bar?
No, I didn't think to do that, actually I copied and pasted the url to d4x and a new download and it completed the job.
Yes, that was what was missing.At least doing that popped up the Save as dialog box.
And if you see a URL beginning with ftp:// the best thing to do is copy
& paste the url into a command line starting with 'ncftp'. Install ncftp
if you haven't already done so, because it's got to be the #1 text-mode
ftp client out there. It's on the DL edition, probably disk 2 or 3.
So what's this "ncftp" NC means ? Now copy ? ]# rpm -qa | grep ncftp ]#
Ha,
ftp://216.254.0.38/linux/Mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/ncftp-3.1.6-0.1.92mdk.i586.rpm
does it again, it's downloading something but where to?
I'm going to stop it, and use d4x though , don't have to search for a dl directory.
So lets find out about it,
name ncftp
summary An improved FTP client

It went on easy, not fuss,
Lets see now, what does it do ? Same result though . somehow I think your supposed to do something else with it ?
