But programs like downloader, wget, lftp and pavuk downloads through http as well as ftp. Some of them are not DESCRibed as ftp programs either. How about a filetransfer category instead, or net-transfer? If we were to sort out all programs in their own categories by protocol, we'd have a lot of them. Though if we sort them out by their basis functionality it'd be easier. -- Anders Nordby ^ anders@fix.no ^ http://anders.fix.no/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
