Well, I just tried HyperFTP, by Douglas Hornig (dug@cornellc.cit.cornell.edu).  

HyperFTP is a hypercard stack (with a major amount of XCMDs from Apple and
elsewhere, as far as I can tell) that is an ftp client.

I am suitably impressed.  I will probably use it from now on to ftp files
back and forth.  While I haven't benchmarked its throughput, I am very
impressed with the interface - simple, easy, and it works.

One of the neatest features is this an option to display a file right in
hyerpcard.  So, you can display a readme or catalogue file without having to
ftp, get out, and open it in a word processor.

Kudos to Doug for such a neat piece of software, and to Doug and Cornell
(and lots of other people, like Apple)  for putting it out there for use to
use!!!!  That's the spirit!

Rob
