Hi. I am planning to build a utility for freebsd, but wanted to
find out (1) if such already existed and (2) if the freebsd team
would like to include this in subsequent releases.

Esssentially, it's built directly from your version of FTP.
Give it a host and a list of files (including wildcards) and
it gets them directly using anonymous login.

	ftpget host file...

A second utility returns the directory listing from a particular point

	ftpdir host path

This is a result of me being slowed down by the command line interface
to ftp when all I wanted to to was get a single file I knew that path of.

Anyway, if it is already extant or in progress, there is no reason
for me to build it. If I do, how much I document it depends upon
whether ya'll are interested in it.

Thanx for the input.
