Interesting.  It didn't work when I tried on ftp.freebsd.org, and
worked after I swapped the link and directory.  Maybe wcarchive is
configured differently....

wcarchive.cdrom.com:/.3/FreeBSD
ncftp>mget ports-2.1.tar.gz
ports-2.1.tar.gz: No such file.

(login, mv's)
 :
wcarchive.cdrom.com:/.3/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE
ncftp>get ports.tar.gz
ports.tar.gz: 1436022 bytes received in 145.31 seconds, 9.65 K/s.

Either case, I think I'm going to leave it that way because there was
another problem, i.e., "get ports-2.1.tar.gz" producing a subdirectory 
"ports-2.1" instead of "ports".
