This doesn't address to ftp problem queried, but since mc has already expanded into <inet-fetch>, imagine the extra power, if NNTP & SMTP could also be handled. Especially since they have 2 parts: inet ReadWrite & fileManagement.
My extensive use of wily [another 90s killer app] supports the idea. He proposes hooking a python-based inet-handler onto the existing wily <superior data-file manager> Similarly: mc gives us the <superior data-file manager>. It might be interesting to hack an interface to nc/netcat, to acheive a <Mail & News client>? _______________________________________________ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
