Hello
I have logged onto ftps before, but never an anonymous one. I need to
log into ftp://archive.progeny.com/
I can view the files with mozilla, no passwords needed. I will be
using wget, but initially I want to loggon with ncftp, which I have
used before.
I have tried
web@debian:~$ ncftp -u anonymous ftp://www.progeny.com
