Release Notes: This patch release fixes a number of minor issues including ls -t (time ordered listing), a double fclose() segfault, and an autoconf herror include. The code was modified to use strtoul/strtoull. getpass hook routing was changed to use new code. A Ctrl+c local echo problem at the password prompt was fixed. The TODO list was updated, a roadmap for version 2.0 was added, and remaining bugs were confirmed as fixed, non-issues, or pending. A KNOWN_ISSUES file was included with three outstanding known issues, the most severe involving slow SFTP transfer rates.

Release Notes: This release included patches made for the Debian package, including the large file support patch.

Release Notes: This release fixes a severe bug in ssh mode that caused uploaded files to be truncated. A lot of feature requests have been implemented, such as cache timeout, an option to skip empty files, and a config option to transfer certain files before others. It also uses the newest autoconf and has a completely rewritten autoconf test for Kerberos, which should make it easier to compile Yafc with support for Heimdal or MIT Kerberos 4/5.

Seriously... reinventing the wheel is fun... And yes I find it better than lftp for interactive use. Just like I find zsh better for interactive use compared to bash.
lftp still has it's uses(i.e. great for scripting it). yafc makes working with ftp a pleasure...
And yes... there will always be more apps that do the same thing more libs that do the same thing etc...
It's that state of: "Just because I can I will" :)
why more ftp clients ?
Is it better than lftp ? No offense, but that 400+ text editors and heck lot of ftp clients make me think of wheel reinventing.
simply great
it is to sftp what ncftp is to "normal" ftp.
By that I mean it makes it so much easier.
New version ?
As far as I see there is already a "new" version on SF.net (0.7.10). I wonder if the author is announcing updates here....
Nice indeed!
I really like this piece of software. In particular the built-in name-completion for ssh, something I've really missed in other ftp-clients. And a "recursive"-option for all the apropriate functions; Hurray!
