| True.  In general, there are a number of annoyingly different things.
| New way:
|      FTPANONPASS    Password to send in an anonymous FTP transfer.
| Defaults
|                     to ```whoami`@''.
| 
|      FTPMODE        Overrides the default operation mode.  Support
| values are:
|                     active   active mode FTP only
|                     auto     automatic determination of passive or
| active
|                              (this is the default)
|                     gate     gate-ftp mode
|                     passive  passive mode FTP only


|      FTPPROMPT      Command-line prompt to use.  Defaults to ``ftp>''. 
| Refer
|                     to COMMAND LINE PROMPT for more information.
|      FTPRPROMPT     Command-line right side prompt to use.  Defaults to
| ``''.
|                     Refer to COMMAND LINE PROMPT for more information.

These won't effect anything if you don't set them. IMO, they are very
useful, for example, for showing current working directory.

| vs the old way:
|      FTP_PASSIVE_MODE  If this variable is set to something else than
| `NO',
|                        ftp will use passive mode by default.


|      ftp_proxy         URL of FTP proxy to use when making FTP URL
| requests
|                        (if not defined, use the standard ftp protocol).
|      http_proxy        URL of HTTP proxy to use when making HTTP URL
| requests.

ftp_proxy and http_proxy are still supported in lukemftp.

The only thing really different in the enviornment variables is the
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE vs. FTPMODE.

| 
| There may be a number of other small differences in the command line
| arguments.
| 

-4 and -6 are not supported, I don't think there was anything else.
