|Hello all..
|
|I was visiting a firend of mine which ran NT 4.0 beta and he had this
|ftp program in which you could login to 2 ftp sites simultaneously 
|and transfer files between them. Now this was just by using 2 ftp
|connections from a third remote host ....
|
|Anyone know of anything like this for unix/linux or have any ideas?

This capability has been in the FTP protocol for a long time.  You
should know by now that MS seldom invents anything novel.  It's
possible by virtue of the fact that ftp has separate control and data
connections and called proxy ftp. The BSD descended ftp program has
this capability, see the proxy command. I don't see it in ncftp but
then I'm not up to date with ncftp.
