+`tnftp' is a `port' of the NetBSD FTP client to other systems.
+
+The enhancements over the standard ftp client in 4.4BSD (and
+derivatives) include:
+ * command-line editing within ftp
+ * command-line fetching of URLS, including support for:
+ - http proxies (see $http_proxy, $ftp_proxy)
+ - authentication
+ * configurable prompt
+ * context sensitive command and filename completion
+ * dynamic progress bar
+ * feature negotiation extensions from RFC 2389
+ (see `feat' and `remopts')
+ * extensions to ftp from the IETF ftpext working group
+ (see `mlsd' and `mlst')
+ * IPv6 support (from the WIDE project)
+ * modification time preservation
+ * paging of local and remote files, and of directory listings
+ (see `lpage', `page', `pdir')
+ * passive mode support, with fallback to active mode
+ * retrieval of filenames listed in a given file (see `fget')
+ * `set option' override of ftp environment variables
+ * TIS Firewall Toolkit gate ftp proxy support (see `gate')
+ * transfer-rate throttling (see `-T', `rate')
+ * uploading of files on the command line (see `-u')
+ * (Dante) SOCKS5 support
+
+Previous features, currently disabled until a test system is available:
+ * SOCKS4 support
