I asked a while ago about this, but only got a few confused replies.
I have a stock Mac II machine with Ethertalk card, and MacTCP 1.0.1.
I am currently using NCSA Telnet 2.2-TCP for communications, but there
_still_ is no FTP. By FTP, I mean I want to initiate an FTP session
from the Mac to a remote host for file transfer. I do *not* want to
telnet to that host and start a reverse-FTP session like with the non-TCP
Telnet and 2.3 Telnet. Telnet and FTP exist as two different programs for
the MSDOS machines, doesn't it exist for the Macintosh? Where?

It has everything a full suite Internet host should have including SMTP, Telnet, client and server FTP, finger, SNMP, POP, NFS, and much more. I was impressed by the product. This is NOT a public domain package. The full package is about $750. Quantity discounts are available as well as you can pick and choose the features you want. L. Michael Sabo dockmaster.ncsc.mil

A Mac Application package, Versaterm 4.5, along with being a plain, old serial terminal emulator, also provides Telnet and FTP services over TCP. Emulation of the Telnet driver is VT100. TEK4014 emulation is also provided. A separate application also provides a telnet "server" for all Macs connected via a local AppleTalk network through the Ethernet TCP port. All this for <$100US mail order. Can you beat that?

OK, all this INCLUDING FTP (yes as you want it ) it's available on BYU Version of NCSA Telnet, I don't remember where I get it. It is really the same as NCSA BUT it has an extra ftp botton on the open secion menu. I search for it and it seems to be in 130.186.34.6 in /download/ncsa/telnet/mac I hope this helps....

It is available from anon ftp at msdos.archive.umich.edu and/or mondo.engin.umich.edu. It has some annoying features (redraws its windows every few minutes, etc) but its graphical interface is intuitive. It runs over MacTCP. (I normally run NCSA Telnet 2.3 with 3-4 Unix sessions open, POPMail, XferIt, NewsWatcher and MacX at the same time in a Mac IIci with little hassle). Oh, XferIt and NewsWatcher are shareware.

Definitely get the version from mondo.engin.umich.edu...the version at info-mac is still fairly out of date and is nowhere near as nice. For the record, the version I've got from mondo is XferIt 1.4b2 which is the latest and greatest as far as I know. > It runs over MacTCP.

I've never heard of NewsWatcher. Where can I get it from? Todd
