The purpose of ncftp is to provide a powerful and flexible interface 
to the Internet standard File Transfer Protocol.  It is intended to 
replace the stock ftp program.

Although the program appears to be rather spartan, you'll find that 
ncftp has a wealth of valuable performance and usage features.  The 
program was designed with an emphasis on usability, and it does as 
much as it can for you automatically so you can do what you expect 
to do with a file transfer program, which is transfer files between 
two interconnected systems.

Some of the cooler features include progress meters, filename 
completion, command-line editing, background processing, auto-resume 
downloads, bookmarking, cached directory listings, host redialing, 
working with firewalls and proxies, downloading entire directory 
trees, etc., etc.
