Re: bftp(1)
In the last episode (Aug 17), Alexey M. Zelkin said: Man page for telnetd(8) references to bftp(1) which will be installed into /usr/ucb/bftp and of course does not exists. Can someone describe in few words is this staff still supported ? If so, there bftp(1) staff can be received/downloaded ? Otherwise I think it's good idea to remove this staff from manpage and probably from source code. I did an Altavista search for bftp and it looks like it's a background FTP client. Original source is at http://astro.temple.edu/~yxue , and a '97 paper re-implementing it is at http://renoir.vill.edu/~yhang . It looks like ports/ftp/ncftp3 has all the features of bftp (scheduled background transfers, auto-resume, multiple file xfers) except it doens't email the user then the transfer is done. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
