Notes on zftp: -------------- This is the client program for the ZEBRA FTP (zftp) protocol of CERNLIB. Like other FTP-type programs, the ZFTP protocol transmits passwords in cleartext. It would therefore be wise to use zftp only within a closed LAN with trusted users. To connect to a remote host, the host must be running the zserv daemon (for Debian, part of the pawserv package) from inetd. See also the README.Debian file for that package. ZFTP by default converts all filenames to lowercase (it does not respect the KUIP command "FILECASE KEEP"), which is potentially a problem on case- sensitive Linux and UNIX machines. Some of its interactive commands, but not all, accept a 'C' argument to preserve filename cases; see the ZFTP online help for individual commands for details. -- Kevin McCarty <kmccarty@debian.org>, Mon, 22 Jul 2002
