I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ncftp's not bad, although I've only used it in Linux. I quite liked it.

Hey. New board.

Yeah, when I first realized that I could install a command-line program for ftp that had many useful features was a great day for me.

Now, of course, I open up my Terminal once a week at the most (and that's usually just to run "cal" because i'm too lazy to open a GUI calendar program. If I install Tiger on this laptop, the dashboard calendar will remove even that need.) But once, I was truly a geek. Once.

Your tag here.

I did not know IE had its own FTP business. Just, you type ftp.blahblah.com into the URL space?

To answer the question for the record, the syntax is

ftp://ftp.blahblah.com

While we're on the subject, is there anything remotely like HTML Kit (which is my one-stop solution for editing and FTPing shit) for the Mac? Because man, I miss HTML Kit, and I hate having to go to the basement to use it.

Hey. New board.

Is HTML kit just a nice text editor with FTP access? Cuz, if so, I believe TextWrangler can do that.

If it's more than that, well, I am completely not of the knowing. Sorry.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I use SecureFX cause I could get it from MIT for free and because some sites I use require Secure FTP connections.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I use Fugu for the same reason. Except for the MIT part.

When you open the program do you exclaim "Fugu Me!!"?

Sometimes, it's more like "Fugu you!!"

I use BlazeFTP 2.1 on my PCs and have been quite happy with it.
