lftp is an ftp client that supports many protocols: ftp, ftps, http,
https, hftp, fish and file. lftp also has readline support (ie
tab-completion and history like bash and ncftp). Using lftp with the
fish protocol makes it a convenient substitute for sftp.
Known issues:
-When using the fish protocol, lftp causes a segfault when copying a
file to the host (put operation). Smaller files (<6k) will work OK. But
anything larger causes a segfault for me.
-lftp won't store the file time from the server. (reported by: Frédéric
L. W. Meunier).

Hi,
I've installed cygwin on Windows XP and love it. I am trying to get
fetchmail to work with smtp. I am running my own smtp server in XP (Mercury)
as I have my own dynamic IP from dynip.com. I am using Outlook to send and
receive mail for my domain. I also am trying to download pop mail from
another account into cygwin so I can do some stuff with it with procmail and
perl. Fetchmail does download the mail, but to where, I have no idea,
because it doesn't show up as far as I can tell. I know I can set up some
smtp capabilities in cygwin, but that would collide with the mail server I
am running in XP. Have I worked myself into a corner? Anyone have any ideas?
The fetchmail manpage says:
As each message is retrieved fetchmail normally delivers
it via SMTP to port 25 on the machine it is running on
(localhost), just as though it were being passed in over a
normal TCP/IP link. The mail will then be delivered
locally via your system's MDA (Mail Delivery Agent, usu-
ally sendmail(8) but your system may use a different one
such as smail, mmdf, exim, or qmail). All the delivery-
control mechanisms (such as .forward files) normally
available through your system MDA and local delivery
agents will therefore work.
If no port 25 listener is available, but your fetchmail
compilation detected or was told about a reliable local
MDA, it will use that MDA for local delivery instead.
