Does anyone have a 'viaftp' sender ? I know that its easy to write,
but I guess handling of failed FTP's would require some thought,
and if someone's already done it, it would help.

There are a fair number of 'leaf' sites directly on the Internet that
would benefit a lot by using a uucp style transfer (using 'ftp') 
instead of NNTP (even with the expected NNTP-2).

Please Cc: me directly via email if you have any such beastie.

If I don't get any answers and I develop something, I will post
it out. Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
