It's usage resembles regular command line ftp, but it handles that chore much better and much more user-friendly than regular ftp. But you can only go to one site at a time. What you're trying to do there is to query, and for that you need an http client like Mozilla, lynx, or what have you. But for the actual file transfer you use ncftp. For instance $ ncftp ftp.rpmfind.net < messages and so forth> ncftp> cd /pub/Linux/Mandrake/9.2 ncftp> get p0rn-1.3.0.i586.rpm ncftp> quit :) In other words, you manipulate it pretty much like you would an ftp session, but think of it as ftp on steroids :). (Disclaimer, that p0rn rpm doesn't really exist.) ;) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
