Accessible ftp

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Following up here, I also often use curl

   $ curl ftp://ftp.example.com/path/to/download.tgz
   $ curl --ftp-create-dirs -T local.tgz ftp://ftp.example.com/some/location/

(you only need the "--ftp-create-dirs" if you're uploading to a
directory that doesn't exist)

Hope this helps,

-Tim
