I recall seeing references to "xftp" in this newsgroup recently.
I envision it as an X client with menus and nice fill-in-the-blanks 
dialogs in place of ftp's command line arguments.  It would have
a file-list to show the current working directory of the remote
machine.

Is there such a beast available, based on Motif or lower level X stuff?

I've tried asking archie about anything containing the string "xftp",
but all I could find was somebody's shell script that started a normal
ftp process.

Thanks
