Well I've had the ftp tool crash about 50% of the time I've used it so far.
Also, it can't cope with a directory with a lot of files in it - It just
gets slower and slower building up the display, then after about 6 minutes
crashes - most usefull.

Also, I've noticed that it often fill in the from details of a different
user to the one I am when sending EMail.  It gets the right sig but sets
the sender to someone different.  I really am beginning so wish I had not
bought this stuff - I wonder if I could get my money back.

I would not currently recomend this stuff at all, to any one.
