Is there some ftp-like utility which I ca use to pipe the retrieveddata of a file directly to stdout (ie through gzip, etc) without needing to save it on disk first then wait until it's finished? I know some ftp servers support server-side gzipping, but not all, and the are other utilities which would also be useful to use in place of it. Thanks, Kris || ,-./\ Kris Kennaway || "Dead. Dead.
