 Being a klutz I too never got around to using an FTP client until
 exasperation with Netscape set in.
 Had a look at at several, purchased one (Shareware FTPbrowser), 
 and went looking for one that used the KISS principle.... settled
 on 'NFTP' .... works effortlessly/flawlessly and faster than Netscape
 (not to mention those non-recovery feature should the lines break
 which happens frequently here).

 Dumped FTPbrowser as I never could get it to work, even though
 I had registered it.
 It's on Hobbes, but if you don't have web access then someone
 here I'm sure could get it (or whatever) to Linda.
