.SH NOTES
|
|
The FTP protocol passes unencrypted usernames and passwords to clients,
|
|
so they are potentially exposed to evildoers with network sniffers. So be
|
|
wary of using this to exchange files between your own accounts. Obviously
|
|
if you have a root account on another system and the remote system will
|
|
accept a login as root this is extremely dangerous. (Many ftp servers will
|
|
not allow a connection by root).
|
|
.P
|
|
Text-mode (ASCII) transfers are the default mode, be sure to enter the
|
|
"binary" command if you are downloading a program file or a compressed
|
|
archive, in fact anything other than a text file from a machine with a
|
|
different text-file format than Minix uses.
|
|
.P
|
|
If you are behind a firewall you probably need to use passive mode to
|
|
successfully transfer files.
|
|
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
None are known, but there may be some unknown ones. Version 1.00 corrects
|
|
a bug in previous versions that would append a \\r (0xd) character to file
|
|
names on the destination when an mget transfer was used in binary mode.
