So now it's basically just a matter of me taking the time to read a manpage and do some changes (just some small fixes to the page, some opinions I no longer hold, and so on)..

If you are behind a firewall you might have to use an ftp-client that
supports passive connections. I wish I could use ncftp for that, but I
have actually never managed to get it to work in passive mode (ncftp
2.4.3 on Debian 2.2 or RedHat 5.2). Any tip (or config files)
appreciated :)

I usually end up using pftp, which is ftp in passive mode. Ok if
compiled with ncurses (or whatver. I wanna use the arrow keys and tab!)
