Bug#4091: Ftp does not wait for user answers on mget
Package: netstd
Version: 2.05-1
The ftp command, at least in a xterm, does not let one stop mget:
ftp> mget x*
mget xarclock_1.0-1.deb?
Continue with mget? mget xautolock_pl10-2.deb?
Continue with mget? mget xaw3d_1.2a-5.deb?
Continue with mget? mget xbase_3.1.2-9.deb?
Continue with mget? mget xbmbrowser_4.2-2.deb?
Continue with mget? mget xcolors_1.5-2.deb?
Continue with mget? mget xcompat_3.1.2-4.deb?
Continue with mget? mget xcontrib_3.1.2-1.deb?
Continue with mget? mget xdaliclock_2.06-1.deb?
Continue with mget? mget xdevel_3.1.2-4.deb?
Continue with mget? mget xearth_1.0-11.deb?
Continue with mget? mget xfnt100_3.1.2-6.deb?
[etc...]
After having displayed 'Continue with mget?' it gets to the next file
asking, so there's no chance to answer no. (In the example above, I hit
C-c on each line).
Yves.
