I posted this question to telnet@ncsa.uiuc.edu on 1/22, but apparently that is a dead list, I didn't receive any replies. Does Mac NCSA Telnet support mac to mac ftps directly? I don't want to sign onto a mainframe/mini to ftp stuff between two macs. I thought ncsa telnet 2.3 had this feature, but I don't see it documented. JoAnn

All that NCSA has is a FTP server builtin, but others have added client capabilities to it over the years, both PD and commercial. BYU InterCon TWG And probably others. Hope this helps.

It's a small inconvience compared the other overall quality of this excellient piece of free software. Oliver

(How, for instance, do you download files from anonymous ftp sites. How do you transfer files from a Mac with a CD ROM player to a PC - when you are always needing to change CD-ROMS and the PC is in another room?) Besides, you cannot properly set up key mappings with the Mac version. Therefore I would conclude that the Mac version is, to use the classic Usenet phrase, terminally brain-dead. Doug McDonald

Simple solution: use BYU Telnet 2.3.4. This is NCSA Telnet with the
ability to do client ftp added in. Contact Jim Logan
(loganj@yvax.byu.edu) for more information.
