>Description:

The ftp(1) manpage states that ftp uses less for the pager subcommand of
ftp. The source for ftp says:

/* $FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/ftp/ftp_var.h,v 1.11 2000/02/21 18:18:41 ache Exp $
[...]
#define PAGER           "more"  /* default pager if $PAGER isn't set */

A patch to fix the manpage has been included.
