ftp-ing

[Mark Phillips <mark@maths.flinders.edu.au>]

Hi,

If I want to ftp something onto my home computer (via a ppp link over
my modem to my university), I currently have two options available to
me.  I can use a two step process: first ftp the stuff from the site
in question to my account at university, then ftp (I use ncftp) the
stuff from uni to my home machine.  Alternatively I can use netscape
to ftp stuff directly from the site of origin to my home computer.

Question: is it possible to ftp (or ncftp) stuff directly from the
site of origin to your home computer in a single step (like netscape
allows you to)?  If so, how?

Thanks for your help,
