NcFTP is a user interface to the Internet standard File Transfer
Protocol.  This program allows a user to transfer files to and from a
remote network site, and offers additional features that are not found
in the standard interface, ftp.

The program runs in one of three modes: visual mode, line mode, and
colon mode.

If your system is somewhat modern, the default mode should be visual
mode.  This is a full-screen interface that uses the curses library.
With visual mode, you edit the program's settings with a nice screen
interface instead of typing arcane commands.

If you are not in visual mode, you will be using line mode for the
interactive shell.  This mode is a no-frills command-line interface
that will look like the default ftp program's command shell.

The third mode, colon mode, refers to the program's ability to do a
quick retrieve of a file directly from your shell command line,
without going into the program's own shell.  This mode is useful for
shell scripts.
