I've successfully used WSFTP as a Windows FTP client to download from both
of these sites. (Right now, I've got systems running Win95, WinNT4
(Server), and Debian GNU/Linux. Contrary to what others say, I like them
all and use all of them every day. They've all got strengths and
weaknesses.... But, I _wouldn't_ do without any one of them, either.)
You can get it from:
http://www.ipswitch.com
or Jumbo or TUCOWS of course.
Make sure you get:
/debian/stable/disks-i386/current/*
Follow the installation instructions in there to get going. Every other
directory just contains optional components, etc, but the one you'll
primarily be interested in after the one above is:
/debian/stable/binary-i386/*
Get the Packages file and go through that for info on what's available.
Good luck,
