`tnftp' (formerly lukemftp) is what many users affectionately call the enhanced
ftp client in NetBSD.
The enhancements over the standard ftp client in 4.4BSD include:
* command-line editing within ftp
* command-line fetching of URLS, including support for:
- http proxies (c.f: $http_proxy, $ftp_proxy)
- authentication
* context sensitive command and filename completion
* dynamic progress bar
* IPv6 support (from the WIDE project)
* modification time preservation
* paging of local and remote files, and of directory listings
(c.f: `lpage', `page', `pdir')
* passive mode support, with fallback to active mode
* `set option' override of ftp environment variables
* socks4/socks5 support
* TIS Firewall Toolkit gate ftp proxy support (c.f: `gate')
* transfer-rate throttling (c.f: `-T', `rate')
ftp/tnftp: Update to 20260211

ftp/tnftp: Add license
[1]
tnftp contains a mix of BSD2CLAUSE (mostly the NetBSD
derived code) and BSD3CLAUSE (inherited from the orignal UCB BSD code).
tnftp was previously BSD4CLAUSE but that was fixed in the upstream code
a while ago so I changed the COPYING to reflect that. It's no more
restrictive than BSD3CLAUSE now.
