2678	New package: lftp	alexander@…	blfs-book@…	"Home page: http://lftp.yar.ru/

Package type: command-line FTP client

Rationale for inclusion: The book already includes a command-line FTP client, NCFTP. However, it is deficient in some ways:

 * NCFTP doesn't use readline and thus doesn't react correctly to line-editing keys like Home and End (Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E do work, though). lftp uses Readline and thus doesn't have this problem.

 * NCFTP doesn't support RFC2640 and thus doesn't allow for standards-compliant transfer of files with names containing non-ASCII characters. Moreover, the book doesn't contain such command-line FTP client at all. lftp fills this hole and is already mentioned on the ""Locale Related Issues"" page."	enhancement	closed	normal	x-future	BOOK	SVN	medium	wontfix
